What specific tools would we need to install this?

Just the proper size "Torx" tool is all you need to disassemble the old units and mount the new ones. It helps the operation if someone holds the lid while doing the work!Good luck!P.S. With the new StrongArms mounted, my lid goes up by itself!! Very good items.V. Tora

I think I used only a simple socket or maybe an Allen wrench. It's very easy

All you need is a basic tool set that has a selection of sockets or wrenches. It took me about 20 minutes to change both sides out along with a second set of hands to hold the lift gate up.

I think it is a T40 screw driver ( star head ) bigger than household.... I just watched the you tube video... i am not very mechanical... you need either a board to hold up the hatch gate or another person to hold it all the way up.... it was easy... watch the video.... it worked just like that.....

Get the T40 Torx socket for a 3/8" ratchet wrench (not a hex wrench). The bolts are too tight for a screw driver. You can buy a single socket or a set of sockets online or any Hdwe./Auto parts store.

I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands. I tried to do it by myself and, although the bolts have a great self aligning feature built in, I managed to mess up the threads. Luckily, I had a tap and chased the threads and finished the job without further incident. Oh, all the tools you will also need is a Torx screw driver (commonly called a 'star' screw driver.) The size if I'm not mistaking is a T40. I used the T40 bit and a little 1/4" ratchet, since the screws were pretty tight, especially after being in there for 13 years. As you can see it took me much longer than most, so I suggest you get a second set of hands, for a 10-20 minute job. :-) I think the MAIN tool you need is a second set of hands.

I had to use the star head screw driver. If you look at the screws you can determine the size or take it to an auto parts store and they will tell you the size. I think the tool I bought came with interchangeable tips all the star shape.

There is a list of tools needed on the instruction page. Nothing exotic, phillips head screwdriver is the main tool.

If you install it as instructed, a medium size philips head screw driver & a small wrench or pliers is all that's needed. If you need to drill holes then of course an electric drill is necessary.

Hammer and a Phillips screw driver or power drill. Lots of patience. If you watch the video on you tube first you will save yourself tons of time

The tools are included, the instructions are available on YouTube not included with item. It is time consuming to install but if you are experienced with working on small sensitive electronics it should not be too difficult; it gets a bit frustrating at times working with the tiny screws so give yourself some time and be patient also take a break halfway through and you should be fine...good luck! �
