Tools you should have
Coach ,ALLEN sockets as you mentioned are a Must,, to torque,, I have several,,
(forgot that CRS again)..... Go to Sears or Radio Shack,, for around 10$ they have a book on how to use the meter...1 of the BEST troubleshooting tools you will have,,,, WORD of warning,, USE the PROPER size wrench on the Nuts and bolt heads,,, When you use Vise grips,pliers or a cresant wrench you can SCREW UP the HEADS,,,Or at least score the chrome ,which will add rust lines......to the bolts and look like crap.....And DEF 100MPH tape, you could cover bullet holes on a F 16 with it till repairs were made :)....Seriously.. GREAT stuff,, better knowas duct tape,,PLUS if you want to mess with a friend who has hair exposed slap it on ,, the rip it off, Oo can you say Bikini wax job OUCH!! It will grab hair LOL...........

To what the others have stated, I can only add that you need an inch lb, and Ft lb torque wrench, a 22 & 24 mm 1/2" drive socket, and maybe a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer. The allen sockets are a must.

Back in my racin days, we called it 200 mph tape. I ALWAYS have some in the garage. I only use the crescent/channel locks as a last resort. Like grabbing the big arse screw driver to get the oil filler plug out...ugh!
