13mm for the calipers. i think a 5/16th or 8mm for the driveshaft. not sure of the track bar. bfh to break the tops off the shocks or 13mm on the bottom. and bring a cordless sawzall to cut the arms in half.
 
Torx for the upper arms, either a 45 or 50 and a 17mm and 19mm wrench...
Wich yard you looking at???
 
On the upper CA’s it’s a torx socket , I have a 55 but its smaller then that, I also have the correct size to fit the torx but am unable to read it on the socket, so I guess it’s a 40.

Lower CA’s 13/16 standard, don’t have the correct size in metric to try.

Calipers was a ½

Shocks??? Guessing some one said 13mm? Ill double check that seems small.

Ill have to get the correct size on the draglink, see what size the crown nut is

The track bar is already off I think, but ill check that also.

Please correct any of this info if incorrect please

Thanks Eric
 
13mm sounds correct for the lower shock mounting nuts and bolts. There are 2 nut/bolts per side holding the lower shock bar pin to bracket on the axle. From below, I use a 13mm deepwell socket plus small extension on the nut, and a wrench above to hold the bolt.


IIRC, its 18 or 19mm for the TRE's, maybe 3/4".

If the steering stabilizer is still there, I think thats an 18mm nut and bolt on the axle end.

I'll have to check out my UCAs for pesky torx bolts.
