Maintenance and minor repair tool kit

~1min read

The tools given in this list should be considered as a minimum requirement if routine maintenance, servicing and minor repair operations are to be undertaken. We recommend the purchase of combination spanners (ring one end, open-ended the other); although more expensive than open-ended ones, they do give the advantages of both types of spanner.

  • Combination spanners: Metric - 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 & 19 mm
  • Adjustable spanner - 35 mm jaw (approx.)
  • Spark plug spanner (with rubber insert)
  • Spark plug gap adjustment tool
  • Set of feeler blades
  • Brake bleed nipple spanner
  • Screwdrivers:
    Flat blade - 100 mm long x 6 mm dia
    Cross blade - 100 mm long x 6 mm dia
  • Combination pliers
  • Hacksaw (junior)
  • Tyre pump
  • Tyre pressure gauge
  • Oil can
  • Oil filter removal tool
  • Fine emery cloth
  • Wire brush (small)
  • Funnel (medium size)
