Hi everyone, I've owned and worked on a subaru for the last 10 years but am now the proud owner of '14 TDI JSW. I plan on doing most of the maintenance myself and I am looking for the "essential" tools, procedures and tricks i'll need for working on my car. I've ready a fair bit of the DIYs and notice a bunch of larger size sockets required, i think i recall seeing a 31mm or something large like that, maybe it was for the DG Panzer plate? Anyways, it got me thinking, i am going to need some new hardware to keep my car in top shape.
1. what's the best way to lift my car? Looks like my ramps wont work due to the clearance, what's the trick there?
2. What's the best/cheapest way to jack the car? I have the HF aluminum floor jack and read about cutting a hockey puck on a table saw. It looks like you have to lift on the angular frame? is that correct?
3. wheel locks- do the cars come with the tool to get the wheel locks off? I didnt see one in my used setup.
4. i recently ordered this https://slickdeals.net/f/12371698-craftsman-13-pc-external-torx-socket-set-free-store-pickup-21-80?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1 what other new sockets ,etc might i need?
Thanks in advance.
