Well....I say be a man and don't use spring compressors! :naughty: I didn't and thought it was halarious when the perch flew off into the yard. Just be careful not to aim em at anything breakable....:chuckles: Other than that, a set of sockets and wrenches and maybe some WD40 and your're set. Impact wrench would be nice but not a must have. Good luck and have fun!
