Can somebody give me a list of tools that are absolutely neccessary to perform a b18c swap into a 1998 EX civic? Are there any special tools that I can buy that will make the job easier or that are a must when swapping? I have a cherry picker and basic hand tools (sockets and shiet), but are there any special extensions or little wire splicers or tab pullers or mutha fucl<as that I might need along the way? Thanks fo da hep!:exnbp: huhhuhhuhh

 

Are you doing any mods to the motor before you put it in or are you just doing a simple swap?

 

-Breaker bar
-metric sockets regular and deepsocket sizes
-32mm socket for axles
-jacks, jackstands, and engine hoist
-drift for knocking out shift linkage

Thats about all that I used.

Things you should also get:

-10mm flare nut wrench
-set of regular metric wrenches
-torque wrench
-balljoint seperator

 

penetrating lubricant
waterless, towless hand cleaner
a box of latex gloves
some coveralls
assorted pliers, screwdrivers, etc

i did my swap with a 101 pcs tool set from sears, a set of wrenchs, and a set of screwdriver. Also i had some breaker bars. A special tool for the tie rods and linkage to the rotors and bottom springs. It was used to remove the axle from the rotor if yours gets stuck and the steering rods.
