Mazda MX-5 Mk1 Tools
Tackling a job at home rather than booking it in? Our MX-5 Mk1 parts range includes the specialist tools and equipment your Mk1 needs, all part of our wider Mazda MX-5 Mk1 parts catalogue.
Jacks, Axle Stands and Workshop Tools
A proper MX-5 Mk1 jack and a set of axle stands are the starting point for any job done at home, and the Mk1's low ride height means it's worth checking clearance before assuming a standard trolley jack will fit under the sills. Never rely on a jack alone once the car's off the ground; axle stands rated for the car's weight are essential before working underneath.
Beyond lifting the car, a decent workshop manual is worth having alongside your tools, since torque settings and procedures specific to the Mk1 make jobs like clutch or suspension work far more straightforward than working from memory. If you're planning a bigger job like a clutch change or suspension work, having the right tools on hand from the start saves repeated trips back to the garage mid-job.
Wheel removal comes up often too, whether for suspension work or a tyre change, so a quality wheel brace and the right socket size for your wheel nuts are worth keeping in the boot as well as the workshop. Call 01522 568000 for advice on the right tools for your Mk1.
