Big call :) Borrow some tools for suspension overhaul

Yes, this is a big ask ;D
Finally! got new suspension, so will be swapping it as soon as i get a chance.
 
If anyone has the following that they dont use regularly and are happy to lend them out, would
me much appreciated and im sure i could return the favour somehow.
Pair of jackstands, heady duty  torque wrench, hydraulic jack, (ball joint puller) :D
 
Metro sydney, and only if you have all of these available.
I'll end buying them and they will sit around unused for years hopefully after the swap ;p

Carless again :(

    Dude, you have to have jack stands and a hydraulic jack in your garage! They are the sort of things that you will use all the time once you have!
     
    I bought my first hydro jack and stands in a pack for $80 at Kmart! Very worthy investment!
     
    Torque wrench and ball joint puller makes sense to borrow!

    Cant argue with that....
    but I have managed with just one jack and the occasional makeshift ramps for the last 20 years of driving.
    :D maybe i have been lucky.
    Off to supercrap on the weekend, at least for the stands.

    Stock scissor jacks are horrrible
    I have managed without comprehensive insurance for the last 11 years (until today)
    maybe I have been lucky. :D

    Scissor jack is only the emergency one that sits in the car. I do have a proper jack.
    Although it wont fit under the car front or rear by an inch without driving over some ramps.
    The new suspension should fix this ;p
