Go with the chuppa chups lolly sticks. You know the small plastic ones. These are the best sleeve removal tools when you snap the cable tie as they are soft enough to not damage the sleeve but are strong enough not to break. Plus the best bit is you treat yourself to the lolly afterwards :)

You NEED an exhaust spring puller. Trust me on this one.

I made my own out of a piece of wire but I usually just use needle nose pliers.

I used to use needle nose pliers too. Until I bought the spring puller. Sooooo much easier.

If you are left-handed be sure to get the left-handed plug wrench, god knows how many head buttons have been stripped due to a lefty using a plug wrench for right-handed people.

Also don't forget your Benzene Nitro Additive.

Shaft oil and steering equalizer.
