Can someone tell me what tools i will need and what will i need to remove out of the way to pull one off (00-05).

The only reason why i'm asking is because im pulling it off a car at a pick'n pull and i dont feel like dragging out my entire tool chest out there... otherwise i wouldnt care and figure it out as i go.

Also, any special tools required to remove tie rods & bal joints? seeing as im under there, might *** replace that s**t too (seeing as the car was in an accident from previous owner, not sure if any of that was replaced, better be safe then sorry)


Thanks for any input on this!

 

well id take all ur sockets (rachets and extensions) and wrenches, a few screw drivers, pry bars a jack stand or two, vise grips and multiple pliers and snippers...as for ball joints im not sure for chevys but on fords they are quite hard to remove without damaging them...and thats with air tools to try and remove them. id prolly go new for the tie rod ends and ball joints. honestly if u can take your tool chest out there, do it...u never know the problems u may run into

 

yep, better to be safe than sorry

 

im buying new ball joints and tie rods, not taking those off the car at pick'npull...

Theres no way in hell i can bring my tool chest in there... its as tool as me (well not quite but close) and its all dirt in there... but yeah, ill try to bring as much as i can... thanks guys
