#1 SHOP MANUAL

I do all of my own work and one of the best things to have in addition to the above mentioned is a set of ratchet type box end wrenches. They are great for places where a normal socket/ratchet won't fit and flopping a normal wrench is a PIA.

Also a set of sockets for rounded off bolts can save you a lot of frustration when the enevitable happens or someone before you has done shoddy work.

A collection of fluids and other things will make your life easier. Loctite, dilectic grease, Anti sieze, PB Blaster, a torch, angle grinder, rivet gun and plenty of zip ties.

Breaker bar, torque wrench, plug gap feeler guage, swivel for your ratchet, test light, multimeter a good set of cover alls and a box of the blue rubber gloves.

You can do it yourself, take your time, ask lots of questions and take a break when you get frustrated or confused.
