Re: Beginners questions

Hello

Well....I would do all of the repairs....but I've been getting my hands dirty for about 30 years.

Do you have a place to work? Do you have the tools, or the willingness to invest in them. Do you own a good repair manual? Do you have friends that can help out when you get in a bind? Are you the kind of person who can figure things out, or do you have to be told? I'm not trying to be mean, or rude by asking these questions. I feel these are some of the things one should take into account.

There are things to take into account when working on a vehical. Know what's wrong, know how to take it apart, and to get it back together without too many extra parts. (a slight joke)

Some tools that you should get: torque wrench, socket set (both inch and metric, 3/8 and 1/2 in drive) floor jack and jack stands. Some autopart stores, such as AutoZone, "rent" tools. Basicly you buy them and they allow you to return them for a full refund.

I hope this gives you a glimps of what you might be getting into.

I say go for it.....

Regards

Dan
