Sears has a Craftsman set with 9-10-11-12-13-14-15-17, 4 piece, double sided set for 25 bucks.

I also have a spare Wabco modulator valve rolling around in the back of my Disco next to my spare heads, if you want to do the conversion on myspare one and then just swap them out your welcome too. It might save you some down time.

I'll take you up on the spare modulator. I'm going to order the seals this week, along with a new hub, and that would really save me some time in getting the whole project done next weekend. I'll probably just buy the craftsman set that NoBama recommended (thanks for that, BTW), tho I wish I could find an older Made in USA set. I imagine I'll need them again sometime down the line, and any excuse to buy more tools is a good excuse. I'm heading down the Cape this weekend, and could pick the modulator up from you Saturday afternoon, or if your running thru Quincy after 8 anytime this week, I could meet you. Send me a PM and let me know what works for you. Thats really nice of you to offer, thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

They aren't like the old ones, but they are still USA made at least.

Not quite. A lot of sears craftsman tools are now made in china. Some are still made here though.

Yes, quite. I was just in sears 2 days ago holding them in my hand, and the set I was telling him about was made in the USA.

BE PREPARED! The bolts securing the bottom cover to the module have blue lock-tite on them and WILL fight you to the end.

I ended up removing the brake lines and then modulator from the truck. It was ALOT easier to work on than trying to fight those things out w/ my finger tips. Good luck.

If you are needing a hub, might want to call Paul Grant, number is in my signature section, he should be able to get to a good prices on a guaranteed used one.

Thats good to know. I have the craftsman SAE set, but its 10 years old, when all Craftsman were still made in the USA, so its good that I can match them. I'll definitely pick them up this weekend.
