Start with the basics: Metric box end tool set: 19mm,17mm,15mm, 14mm, 13mm, 12mm, 11mm, 10mm (You can also use the 22mm for some of the larger bolts. Metric socket set: Same as box end. Hopefully they will have a 3 inch and 6 inch extention. Flat blade and Phillips screwdrivers Wire cutters, electrical tape Funnel for oil Funnel for coolant Rags for wiping down Paper towels and hand cleaner for when you're done. I get the surgical type gloves so I don't have grease under my nails but that's just me. Volt/Ohm meter (get a cheap one. The stuff you're going to test isn't going to be that complicated. Bentley Manual Spare quart (or 2) of oil Gallon of Antifreeze. Quart of ATF Dextron for power steering Bottle of water for hydration That's a good start.
