So what are some of your favorite, must have tools for mod'in your MINI. For trim removal... These have been a blessing!

 

After going about a dozen pulley installs on friends' cars, I've gotten a LOT of use out of the OEM belt tensioner tool and the Alta version 2.0 "pulley puller". Both work great and make the job *much* easier.

For everyday work, I really like having T-handle allen wrenches, along with allen wrench sockets. I don't think I'll ever use the traditional L-shaped allen keys for anything ever again if I can help it.

 

13mm Gearwrench (or equiv.) really speeds up getting the carrier bearing bracket bolts off on a first gen CV axle, versus a socket, or box end.

 

The jack pad that fits in the jack recess on frame rail.I am able to place the pad in the recess and then i can use my 2.5 ton floor jack to lift car. Good for rotating tires, cleaning inside of wheels or when ever you need to lift the vehicle..

 

Do you have a link to one of those? I'd be interested in one.
