thank you for such a nice write up, every noobie like me should've read this

thanks i ll check that

i have a friend who's a mechanic so if anything bad happen i could 911 him...brakes and engine mount doesn't look difficult on youtube tutorial and service manual..

thanks for all the replys! i ll wait for couple weeks and then decide..

my AC is shaking badly at idle, and i kind of feel it's getting less colder than usual..also there's no difference between MAX AC and AC. So I kind of wanted to try to fix it by myself...But now I probably will take it to a mechanic that i know...

thanks thats a great thread, i searched a while but couldnt find a beginner tool suggestion thread

i heard these are not accurate and they will break or out of calibration after several uses

thanks, i already got the service manual..there are torque specification chart, what im confused is it says lug nut is 100...does that mean i need a torque wrench to install wheels? most mechanic i saw just using a gun to tight lug nut..

ive been learning from explorer forum for like 2month..is there any good youtube channel you could suggest?i found several good auto repair channel but none of them teach me basics of using tools on cars..

but i still need some basic tools...at least a ratchet and socket to loose the belt.. its a 99 ford explorer

I need to do some car repairs, but i don't have any tools..i have some screwdriver and hammer from walmart though something i need to do next week is changing pulley, maybe some AC work, possibly engine mount and driveshaft slip joint....something i need to do later is brake work and oil...
