Nissan Specialty Tools

The Nissan Factory Service manuals have a listing of specialty tools in the front of each section of the manual. It lists the Nissan Part Number for the tool and the Kent-Moore Part for the same tool. You can order the Kent-Moore tools by phoning 800-345-2233 or email them from the Kent-Moore Web Site.

I've purchased several tools for my B14 from them via phone (seal cutter for removing the oil pan, oil seal protector for installing axles).

Thanks for posting this, I never thought to purchase the tools listed in FSM. I usually went to my local auto parts store and tried to get an equivalent tool. How much was the seal cutter? I am going to change the oil pan seal soon...

I don't remember. I've had it for over 5 years. You can see it here.

Call them. They are very helpful and don't mind giving quotes.

YOu can get a free catalog of all the Nissan parts too if you call that number...

Some tools have to be special ordered so it may take up to a month before they can send it out to you so... plan accordingly.

For Canuckians, a lot of similar tools are for rent at Canadian Tire. I hate Canadian Tire, but there's no better deal than renting something for free as long as you return it within the right time.

Anyway, a few FSM tools I've needed have had very close equivalents there.
