Got a brand new TF BB kit sittin in my garage and was wondering if anybody wanted to help me wrench? I'm on vacation from the 25th through the 1st of July and would like to try and get it done during this time if possible. Never done a lift before so any help is welcome. Pizza and beer can be provided...

Also need to know if there are some special tools I may need in advance just in case I don't have it. Got the wheel and exhaust spacers as well. Thanks guys...

 

Would love to help you out here,but that time frame i'll be at Camp SLO

 

Here's what I use for most lift work:

two sets of jack stands
4 pieces of 12x12x4 wood
One floor jack
ratchet/socket set
Combo wrench set
One large channel lock plyer
Blue Lock-tite

Optional:
Ratchet strap
liquid wrench/WD-40
Cordless Impact wrench with 1/2" deep socket set
3" and 6" extension bars
electric tape (or friend to stand there and tell you when your steering wheel is centered after install)

I'm sure I'm missing something, but this is what I thought of off the top of my head.

 

What city are you in?

 

Thanks BKGM, I'm sure this will save me a lot of time..

 

I'm in Turlock (middle of nowhere).

 

I forgot to list a second floor jack as a great "optional" item. It makes working on the front quicker. I've also used a hi-lift on the front but dual floor jacks are more stable.

 

Man, I'd love to help, but it is two hours for me to get to you!

I'm in Hawaii right now and I'm not sure on that Sunday, but if I'm available, would you be willing to come out to West Sacramento? I don't have much, but enough to do a BB lift. Is anyone willing for a install party?

Cloddhopper, are you willing to buy beer? :-)

 

I'm game if he wants to come to sac.

 

Just looking at my calendar and I leave out of town Sunday night to start my work week. So, if we can do it in the morning, I'm willing to host this at my house.
