Tools to start with
SteveG:
As Dan says the Halfords Professional range is a very good buy as it's good kit and has a lifetime guarantee. So if anything does break replacement is easy and cost free.
Their top set is a good buy and is often reduced from 150 down to 99 pounds.
Cheers
Steve
BK:
Except the mechanism on their ratchets they dont guarantee them,but all good gear,only snap on guarantee everything but they are 3 times the price
Saffy:
Will also need a safe way to lift the axle/truck and safe method to support the truck.
To me that is an hydraulic trolley jack and blocks or axle stands.
At home I have use block stacks (wooden) for supporting vehicles as I find them more versatile than axle stands or ramps.
Also get yourself a nice large tin of antiseize assembly grease (copperslip) and a tube of gasket sealant.

The 18V Draper Impact Ratchet is just the coolest tool out there, it even beats the Estwing lump hammer

I've got my eye on one of those myself, is it as good as the snap on one?

Can't compare the quality as I haven't actually seen or used the Snap On one. It was a bit of an impulse buy, I saw it on the shelf and decided that it would be happier if it travelled about with me.
I'm happy with it's performance, it seems to be up to everything I ask of it (but doubt that it would cope with the 200 crank pulley bolt)
POTASH:
