So I want to work on my scooter and after moving out, I didn't have my dad's tools. I left my job at the auto shop so no tools there. And now my friend has moved and I used to use his tools.
To work on my scooter, specifically rebuilding the engine, what would I need?

1/4" drive torque wrench
full metric socket set in 1/4"
some larger metric sockets in 3/8 drive
1/4 drive ratchet
3/8 drive ratchet+ some larger sockets for it
extensions in both drives
strap wrench for pulling the front and rear pulleys or an impact gun and everything that goes with that.

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Ratchet, 10mm and 8mm sockets, flywheel puller 21mm RH thread, flat head screwdriver, and as for pulling the cases apart I don't know what special tool is used for that.
You can buy a tool kit @ sears for $99 or less and won't come with the flywheel puller but it is a good entry level multipurpose tool kit

Ratchet, 10mm and 8mm sockets will take you a long way on this bike.
When you say rebuilding you are being very vag. making it hard for us to help you. Do you mean like swapping cranks? or just replacing the cylinder? Trans work? gears?

I don't agree on this. Minimum level of quality should be Craftsman (in US) or equivalent. Cheap tools will break as much as they fix.Chisholm wrote: I'd just buy some cheap Odd Lots or similar tools especially for your smaller sizes.

buy craftsman or if if your rich, snap on. Both are guaranteed forever, like a zippo.noiseguy wrote:I don't agree on this. Minimum level of quality should be Craftsman (in US) or equivalent.
