what tools do i need

[subestol12]

i dont have any tools for metric or any allen tools.... just wondering what tools are absolutely necessary for taking apart the plastics/carb/etc.

your will need at least 8 and 10 mm sockets. 12mm and 14mm are need for some jobs.

Do yourself a favour and get a 6mm allen key head for your socket as well.

$10,000.00 worth of Snap On tools should do the trick.

Well that's what I use, except I bought them about 30 years ago

when it was only £2000 or about $3500. ?

Now I no longer earn my living with them they are just an indulgence, and SHINY.

how much do you want to spend? craftsman are cheap and great for the home garage, some techs use 'em too. go matco or snap-on if you want to feel special

IMHO...if you are going to try to do some wrenching on the z you should at least get: a 3/8 drive metric socket set (a 1/4 drive could be handy too), a 3/8 drive ratchet, a torque wrench, a metric allen key set, some vise grips (various sizes), a #1 and a #2 phillips screwdriver, etc...

i consider that the basic stuff, and you could get a lot more depending on the complexity of the work you see yourself getting into
