[DML] Re: Special tools

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tools I mostly only need for the DeLorean. 

--Metric Riv-nut tool (John Hervey)
--Clutch Alignment tool (former input shaft). I have a couple now. 
--Ratcheting wrenches are worth their weight in gold.
--Aforementioned clutch bleeder tool.
--Pins for aligning the transmission (screws with heads cut off)
--Engine Hoist ;-)
--55 gallon drum with wheels and floor jack (aka transmission jack)
--Brake pressure bleeder made from a garden sprayer

   This actually fits many euro cars that use Girling brake masters.  
Imagine my surprise when I first looked at the brake master on my BMW 
and it looked almost the same as the DMC....
--Coolant flushing setup - garden hose adapters and stuff
--oil drain and trans drain sockets
--door adjustment rig consisting of 5 of pipe, a braker bar, a couple of extension bars, a wooden support thingm and a 1/2 drive 3/8 allen bit.

There are probably more that I'll think of later.
