Q: Have a leaking gas tank.

asked by on December 20, 2016

I have ordered a brand new tank that will be arriving soon instead of attempting to repair the old damaged one. I used a tank repair kit to stop the leak until the new one arrives (quick fix wasn't a large hole) since I will be asking a neighbor for the tools I want to already know the exact sizes to ask for. Long story short what tools are required to switch 95 corolla base gas tank?

My car has 188000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
