Expert Reply:
The following tools will be needed to install the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37140ET:
1-1/8” Box-end wrench (Shank Bolts)
1-1/8” Socket wrench (Shank Bolts)
3/4” Box-end or socket wrench (Link Plates and L-brackets)
5/8” Socket or box-end wrench (Angle Set Bolt)
Torque wrench capable of 320 ft-lbs of torque. (Shank Bolts)
Torque wrench capable of 75 ft-lbs of torque. (Sway Bracket Assembly)
Torque Wrench capable of 430 ft-lbs of torque (Hitch Ball)
1-7/8” Thin-wall socket (Hitch Ball)
The only two things you might not find in a common set of hand tools is a thin walled socket and torque wrench capable of 430 ft-lbs. The thin walled socket can be obtained from us with part # ALL643216 and the torque wrench can be rented from most local auto parts stores free of charge. The other option you have is to take the system to your local mechanic to have them install it for you.
