[avillan610]

Hey all. New to the club. I am flying to hawaii to work on my tbird and I’m packing up essential tools.
Question: what size socket should I be take to pull the lugs off the wheels

And
Any other suggestions of tool/sizes I should bring with?

Thanks

You can omit the make/model of the car from the subjects of future posts to shorten it since this is an all Ford Thunderbird site. I updated it.

Yes 13/16. It surprising that it took 7 replies just to answer a simple question.

If remember correctly, the crank nut is 15/16.

Change oil before starting it up. And before firing, turn the engine over with the wire out of the coil until you have oil pressure.
