Buy a Nice set like this: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/10273439847229850496?q=craftsman&um=1&hl=en&biw=1152&bih=647&sa=X&ei=nuW6UICkIvOLyQHK9IDADA&ved=0CIMBEPMCMAQ&prds=scoring:tp
It has 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ drives, deep and shallow sockets and some combination wrenches.
This will get you started and you will use it time and time and time again! For the rest of your life if you choose.
Once you get started with this, write a list of tools that you had to borrow or needed to use more frequently than others. Keep searching online for those tools and GO TO GARAGE SALES!!! and even local house auctions if you can. I’ve seen Snap On, MAC, Craftsman and even other very high quality tools go really cheap. And remember, even if you buy them used, they still have the lifetime warranty.
I bought my first set, like I showed in the link, for $5 when I was 18! And I will keep it forever. And when I’m done with it I will give it to my kids.
Good luck in school!

I dislike doing suspension work. It always seems like a bolt is rusted and. And every job is always a lot harder than it initially looks.

Cool! Thanks Eric. I didn’t know that. I appreciate it very much.
So, would the pin with the rubber grommet be on the leading edge too?

So I have a question here.
1. Why would Toyota put a drain plug on the trans and not offer a service interval?
They thought hey, we’ll be nice to our customers and put a drain plug on our trans, and offer a filter too that’s easy to replace!
Then they thought, we cant fit a dip stick for this trans so we won’t put service intervals on the trans, perfect!
A little later they began: well, for the people that tow and drive in dusty weather should change the fluid every now and then so we’ll put a fill plug on it, but just so qualified techs with service experience will be able to find it and service it.
And their last thought: Well who’s really going to change this fluid anyway, we can just run the exhaust under it, no big deal. Who’s really going to change the fluid anyway?
In the end, Why did they put a drain plug on the trans and make it a hassle to fill it? Toyota only got it half right, but opposite of most American manufacturer’s who offer a fill hole and no drain plug.
Here’s a good question for the astudious reader: would you rather have a trans with a drain plug and difficult place to fill or have no drain plug and an easy place it fill?
