Raptor-specific Tool Sizes

[Sokoloka]

Hoping to get my Raptor in the next three days but in the meantime want to gather any tools I could foreseeably need in the future with my Raptor.

I do all my own vehicle maintenance, and with a 72 vette, 73 k10, and 2008 Yukon I've built a sizable collection of standard sized tools.

From what I've read on here, raptors require some specialty sizes that I don't have (#50 Torx for bed bolts, 29mm? For hubs, etc)

Anyone have a comprehensive list of tools needed for my new truck?

T40 for the skid plate access panel. 30mm (or 29mm depending on the brand)socket and a large breaker bar if you plan on removing your front shocks for perch mod or replacement.

My shock install write up might help with some of the sizes for the front suspension

interior. 5.5,6,7,8 mm you will need these to pull the radio or center console or door panels.

Good call Noah, also I have found a set of plastic panel/clip pulling tools very useful for many things inside and out. Besides that nothing out of the ordinary. A 13mm and 15mm gets used a lot on this truck lol.

Non of your tools that u used on your Chevys will work on the raptor , there not good enough. J/k. Depending on heat u are going to be doing, will depend on heat tools u will need u will want a impact of some sort to remove the torx bolt for oil access. A basic set of tools will be fine.

Bed bolts are NOT Torx #50. ......

They are Torx Plus #50! Yes, they are different.

You need a 21mm combo wrench for the rear leaf spring nuts and 27mm for the forward ones.
