Last tool I bought was a GM speciality tool, a Kent-Moore J-39765, which is a spanner to remove the locking ring on the fuel sender/pump assembly on many GM models. I picked it up used on E-Bay, sure made the job easier and I didn't have to worry about any possible sparks via the hammer/screwdriver route. Hopefully I won't need it again any time soon, maybe I should list it in the used parts section.

"Kent-Moore J-39765"
Didn't know that tool existed, thanks for posting. I just looked at them new, about $145, very pricey. Good job finding a used one.

A 3/8" Allen socket to remove those finicky brake caliper mounting bolts.
I'll probably have to buy a bigger C-clamp as well… a 4" clamp isn't enough to work on Bonneville brakes without some trickery.

Should be here Saturday!!!
Amazon.com: PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth Wireless Trip Computer and OBDII Scanner: Automotive
Yea, I have HPTuners and Scantool.net OBD2 scanners, but I'm kinda tired of lugging the laptop around. Which by the way, my Scantool.net scanner is still for sale.
