Working conditions and the used tool



Undergoing renovation works best in a clean, well-lit area where there is a workbench and vice. It should also be enough space to be able to spread out the various parts in a certain order. The well-equipped garage, you can work comfortably and without fuss, to disassemble and reassemble the machine in a clean place. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to work in ideal conditions, so always have to adapt to the actual conditions and it is desirable to have as much as possible more complete set of quality tools.

A warning
Bad tools may cause damage to the nuts, bolts, etc. Never allow this. Remember that buying a good tool - this is the best prerequisite for a successful self-service and maintenance of your car.


Tool

Good quality tools is long and, in any case justify the cost of its acquisition. The basis of a set of tools is a set of open-end wrench 1 (Fig. 4).
It is desirable to have a set of wrenches with swivel head, which is very convenient when loosening "become attached" screws and nuts, as well as where there is not enough space.
To reduce costs, you can get a set of combined wrenches 2 (see. Fig. 4), which on one hand are carob head, and on the other the head of the union. It is also advisable to purchase a set of mechanical heads, which will be very convenient to unscrew the hard or deeply recessed nuts and screws.

You must be a set of cross screwdrivers, pliers and a hammer. In the automotive industry are increasingly being applied to the screws so-called face head ?�Torx?�. For loosening of screws, a special set of heads which are similar to the conventional, but have a different size (denoted by the letter ?�T?�, e.g., ?�T40?� or ?�T50?�). In addition to the basic equipment you can buy a few special tools, which are often essential, for example, impact screwdriver, without which it will hardly be possible to untwist twisted by machine screws using a conventional Phillips screwdriver, without damaging them in the process. The impact screwdriver can be used when tightening the screws, often need pliers (Fig. 5) used in removing the safety lock rings, which are very difficult to remove with a screwdriver.

Recommended tools and accessories

Recommended tools and accessories: 1 - oiler; 2 - a hydraulic jack; 3 - electric portable lamp; 4 - shell support; 5 - a torque wrench; 6 - a small handsaw; 7 - wire brush; 8 - a control lamp (12); 9 - Tyre tread depth gauge; 10 - gauge to measure the tire pressure; 11 - set of test leads




There are two types of pliers: needlenose pliers, designed for removal of the external retaining rings, and the other type - to relieve internal retaining rings. They come with straight or beveled tacks. One of the most useful tools is a special torque wrench 5 (Fig. 6), which is a conventional wrench, adjustable so that it will slip if exposed exceeded the value of the torque screws or nuts. In a similar vein, it can be an arrow that indicates the amount of torque.
The modern model of the car, the more difficult is conducting independent repairs. It is often the need for expensive special equipment is used to diagnose and repair. So in some cases, better just to entrust the repair specialist at the service station car (SRT).
Despite the fact that in this workshop manual explains how to install the various assemblies and mechanisms without the use of special tools, we still strongly recommend to buy the most frequently used tools. Some of the most common tools and accessories that are in constant need for self repair and maintenance of the vehicle shown in Fig. 6.
