Re: [Chrysler300] Winter Vacation - Taking the "G" Apart

["Charlie Valentine" <cross.ram@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Unless that shop has enough of these to share with you, you may also need 
some of the following :
Floor jack,  jack stands, creeper, rolling seat, Rear brake drum removal 
tool, cordless drill ( these can be almost as good as an impact wrench, 
break the bolt or nut loose and zip it the rest of the way with the cordless 
drill...and you can get 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" adapters to use your sockets and 
extensions).
I am trying to think of any specialty tools that you may need. A friend, 
with a good memory, to help assist and give you that 3rd hand, and take pics 
of you dismantling or holding something.
A video camera might even be better. Even when you are not taking video of 
anything specific you can have it running and you can narrate the 
disassembly and have live notes, hints, tips and suggestions.

Bye for now and have a Safe and Happy New Year!!!!!!
