My question is before i go under the car and do it ,

Uh I don't mean to be a killjoy or anything, but why not just climb under the car and find out for yourself? Where is the fun in having us spoon feed you all the info?

You need a full standard socket set. from 3/8" to 1 1/2"

Its not spoon fed information.. I know how to go under the car.. I need to know casue i got sockets up to 1 inch.. so that means i need to go buy up to 1 1/12 now , thanks to mrmephistopheles.
Thats what the boards are for.. Useful INFO..

The axle nuts are diff sizes front to back........something like 32mm and 36mm or so (dont quote me on that). I found these huge sockets for sale in the "RV section" of Pep Boys. (plz verify the exact socket sizes tho)

Just make sure you keep your receipt for the tools you buy.

DO NUT BUY A STANDARD SET!!! That will just prove to us that you truely are an idiot.

Japanese people use the METRIC system because they do not know how to add fractions!!!!! jk

shush, Ritz. You're spoiling my fun.

Sigh.... go to sears and buy the following:
a six point, 3/8's drive metric socket set
a 1/2 to 3/8's adapter
a 1/2 inch breaker bar
I cant remember if there are 19mm bolts, if so pick up that too (doesnt come with the low end craftsman sets)
the 3 pc. 3/8's drive extention set like 3in / 6in / 9in

get a good torque wrench for when you put this back together.
I have a craftsman 44595; ex-girl bought it for me, been happy with it.

a set of metric wrenches are also extremely helpful.

for the love of god use jack stands.

Finally, the car must be on the ground for the final tighting of the bushing bolts.
I lowered the car on wood planks to the point I could crawel under it and tighten everything down. ( crows feet are handy for this too, but not really needed. Could lower the car onto the studs)
