When the majority of peoples that inhabited this earth were dependent on the oral transfer of knowledge, nuggets of knowledge were created as a rhyme or saying to make them easy to remember and pass along to others. While "Use the right tool for the job" doesn't rhyme, it holds very true. So I followed that advise and procured a set of 1977 fiesta specialty tools made by Rotunda. These pop up on ebay all the time. The big set on the left is all about transmission work and engine work, while the set on the right is all about suspension, steering, bearings, bushings, seals and gas tank sending units. It did not cost a great deal, but I will pay for the set in time and money saved. In fact one job I couldn't do last spring was installing the new bearings in the new rear brake drums. I now have the right tools to get it done properly and quickly. Also up on the docket is installing all new bushings in the front and rear suspension...need to get those ordered. I can't wait to tear into this on sunday.
