I am about to replace my clutch in my vehicle and don't know the size tools. I am going to need and I don't want to buy the wrong ones. I know I am going to need sockets and allen keys but what sizes and do I need? Metric or standard? Please help as I am doing this on Saturday and want to have everything ready and right so I don't have to stop mid job and have to run to the store to buy something because I bought the wrong thing the first time. Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately we don't have a list of all the sockets and hand tools that you would need to do this job. I am attaching the process from the manual in case you need this information.

The don't list needed hand tools because they just make the assumption that the person performing these repairs already has needed tools. So you will need to purchase a socket set and a set of wrenches. If you don't have an impact driver and air compressor then you may want to get a 3/8 inch socket attachment and use a cordless impact driver (assuming you have that). It looks like a drill but uses impact bursts to loosen and tighten a screw or nut. They make attachments that you can put sockets on this and it will make the job go faster.

Also, you are going to need to make sure you have the clutch alignment tool that is shown or you won't get the input shaft aligned properly.

Let us know what questions you have and we will try to assist further. Thanks
