jesus christ if a impact gun is too extreme for you, maybe you should not own a car.

an entire motorswap is not extensive on a honda, pretty much unbolt and bolt. it comes apart one way, goes together the opposite. just starting out id get a good set of sockets and endwrenches in MM of course, thats about all you need for a honda, 10mm,12mm,14mm,17mm,21mm, id get a pair of mechanics gloves too, i found out when i used them i didnt get as dirty and neither does my car. good luck.

screw a creeper, i used my skateboard for the longest time. If that bothers your back, grab a piece of plywood from a house being built and bolt the wheels to that biatch.

Changing brake pads is an easy job, I think it took me less than 1/2 hour for the front end from driving my car in my shop, to pulling it out, thats including beer time.

I would suggest buying a manual for your car, its only like $15 and its real nice to have in case you get into a pinch.
