Erm, a few axle stands, a jack and a ratchet set, lol, that good enough??

[streetracer_starlet]

hmmmmm a rachet set would do but those hub bolts are %$(ing tight. Is it 3/8 or 1/2?

Neither. They're metric, often 30mm. All fasteners on a Toyota are metric - ie a mm size.

To do the fronts you need a pair of spring compressors - otherwise you'll find out how powerful a compressed spring actually is.

The rears can be done without spring compressors.

What he ment was what size drive was the socket set 1/2" or 3/8"...

It's an easy job if you have the spring compressors.
