What tools are unique to this job? I only recall using standard hand tools, a large hammer, and a press. The press has many other uses, or a shop could do the press work for your. Bill ------------------------------------------ Your options are: A lot of frustration or take it to a professional shop. (Tools to do the job will cost at least $200.00 and you'll only use them once in your life. Then the alignment has to be sent out.) I bought my parts from Bus Depot and had a local shop install them and align the front end. About 200$ in parts and $275.00 in labor. I'd replace the upper and lower ball joints, the tie rod ends, the steering rack boots (lube the rack as much as possible). Unless the strut rod bushings are split just leave them.
