Yeah. Since I don't have internet at home, and can't just go buy tools, I had to find out the hard way with about 3 trips to Autizone.

LOL I would have bought the metric set had I not checked first. Although I believe last time I used a 9mm or somewhere 'bouts but it was a joy to be told I needed SAE tools

Haynes manual didn't even say! Haynes is so redundant. Not enough info for the complete do it yourselfer, yet instructions to do stuff some folks have no business doing
