Anyone have a good list of what wrenches and sockets you like to carry for your Alpha? I have a good tool kit I used for my Axys and it took some time to perfect. Figured I might as well ask to see what I should add or take out for the new kit.

Thanks

I started carrying a good sturdy loop of string. Say double the length of a shoe lace. Makes for a great spring puller

Two tie rods and the tools to change them are the most important...

Its funny you said that. I bent a t-rod on my alpha and have no clue how it happened. I've owned several PC and that was the first t-rod I've bent.

Wow how have you never bent one? I bet I've been through 12-15 of them since 2015. I can have one changed on the hill in about 4 minutes. I do not think I bent one last year though on any sled so that was nice ha. Supposedly the elevate helps keep it from winding up and taking them out so hopefully I have another clean season this year.
