what tools
I need to replace my TRE on the drag link on the pitman arm side because my truck is ALL over the road. My question is what tools will I need to replace it? I'm having to gather up the tools from different places because I'm off at school and do not have hardly any tools with me. thanks

You will need :
1) Some slim nose pliers, side cutters and little screw drivers to remove the cotter pin.....note: if you have an impact gun, you can just cut either end of the pin off and the gun will easily shear what is left of the pin.
2) Can't remember the nut size off the top of my head but it is either 3/4" or 13/16".....so, you need those 1/2" drive sockets and preferrably an impact gun but a ratchet and Johnson bar will do.
3) You will need a TRE fork and hammer to bust the TRE loose.
4) Some 3/8" drive stuff to loosen the clamps on the adjuster sleeve.....and if the TRE is stuck in the sleeve, a pipe wrench or vice grips to unscrew the TRE.
5) Some Anti Seize lube for re-assembly!
