So many tools, so little room
#21

OK, but I am still trying to find out what tools that I will never need. Like, does a Porsche mechanic ever need an 18 mm? If there is not a need, then I could leave 3 sockets and a wrench behind. This would allow more room for other tools and necessities. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

i can't think of an 18 on the car - not a 9, 16, 20-23, 25 or 26 either

tools to bring - P221 and thin 24mm and 36mm wrench - the rear trailing arms are known to slip their positions - happened to me

What's a P221?

that's the eccentric tool needed to adjust ride height and such in the rear - i could have used that last year when my right trailing arm slipped from the stress of the track (yes, it was properly torqued) - that ended my day - having the tools for that adjustment would have meant a 2 minute job to be able to finish the session

I believe O2 sensor is a 22 and don't forget the 7mm for the bleeder on the clutch slave. It is on your big list, but easy to forget. I just roll my whole tool box into the trailer - it makes it harder to forget things.

you can't get a normal socket on the O2 though, so a wrench is all you need - i couldn't remember what size it was - i have a sensor in a box here and i'll measure it - that reminds me though that i still need to get the special O2 sensor socket - i'll be removing that thing AGAIN soon for yet another clutch job on my car (sigh)

Nah. Just take an adjustable wrench. That covers all bases....

You do mean a metric adjustable don't you?
