1) Set of 6mm-17mm combination wrenches, two of the 13mm.
2) One 6mm - 19mm shallow 3/8" drive six point socket set with a ratchet
handle and 3" & 6: extensions.
3) One 1/2" x 18" breaker bar with 19mm six point socket for breaking wheel
lugs loose.
4) One #2 Phillips, one straight slot screwdriver.
5) About four quarts of oil 40 wt or 15/50 Synthetic.
6) One tri square drive for CV bolts.
7) It helps to have a few feet of various FI line, Vacuum lines and a good
sized fire extinguisher on board.
8) In ten years of operating my 83 Air Cooled Westy the only thing I ever
used from my spare parts was the oil and another 12 quarts of oil when I
blew the rings off of #3 cylinder and drive 250 miles home at 35mph.
9) The tools listed in #1 -#4 are about all it takes to pull an engine and
put heads on it.
