You will need an adapter for the compression tester. Bratton's part # 8471. Snyder's part # A-12405-ADP.

Be sure to make yourself a brake adjusting tool (I don't have the link off hand but has steps cut in to aid in brake adjustment and a couple continent type squeeze bottles to easily top off the transmission/differential, and steering box.

Never have liked creepers, I pull the wrench one way and the creeper goes the other. Easier to just lay on the floor and get in a position that is easy to work from, often that is not flat on my back. Cardboard or old carpet works for me. Sometimes I will put a couple of wood blocks under my head for neck support. If you get one of the original type hub pullers, wait till you get the car so you can see if ring, groove or both on the car. Sometimes it is a mix of both.
