I bought a gear wrench and ended up not using it. I needed a sledge hammer to get the new Y into the I pipe. Extra Hands. Good Luck

Time. The more time you allow for yourself, the happier you'll be. Took me a whole week to do my cam swap! I kept chipping away a little each day untill it was done, no need to rush, plenty of that once it gets running again.

Don't forget to get you a 02 socket. It will come in handy. Also a 10mm gear wrench or you will be cussing you car for hours. Also make sure you got a helper & plenty of beer.
