Tools needed for junkyard run? - The Ford Focus Forum

**fruitport_focus** · 11-02-2009, 10:10 PM

I'm headed out to a junk yard to scrounge an SVT rear brake set up. What tools will I need to do this? I don't want to load my whole tool box. Thanks!

sockets

How long the SVT been sitting? Maybe a torch. Some kind of cutting tool...lol

A wheel barrow and my torch...LOL

In Michigan? Definitely torch/demo saw. That stuff is going to be a bear to get off in the junkyard. Cut it apart and then take it home and do the parts you need right.

Have you priced it out with Steve at Tousley? IMO it is worth getting all that stuff new.

You will also need a SVT or '02-up e-brake lever, as the the 00-01 e-brake does not hook up to the SVT e-brake lines. It has a different style hook.

sockets, torch, pliers would be good... bring the pliers so you can disconnect the brake hoses, or just torch it all apart if you're replacing them anyway

Got the rear brakes today. Channellocks and 1/2" drive 13mm. I got the dust shields as well. The exhaust looks very good. I'm going to try and get that too. Pulled the shifter and cables (already bought the Getrag) and I found the mass air housing just sitting in the car.

I've got my work cut out now!
