Ok, here goes... I'm planning to address a few issues starting this weekend. My steering wheel was seemingly mismounted and is off by about 20-30 degrees. My odometer doesn't work, and the turn signal cancellation doesn't work.

I've read the Pelican articles and intend to follow those. I'm hoping that the turn signal cancellation issue will be corrected just by aligning the steering wheel. (Also, when signaling, both signal indicators on my dash blink even though only the appropriate exterior blinker goes on. What to check?)

I'm going tool shopping after work for, I believe: a breaker bar, 29-30mm socket, "The Club", and a torque wrench. Can I get decent ones at my local Harbor Freight or should I get Craftsman stuff? Is there anything else I need for this job? I have a pretty small collection of (mostly Craftsman) tools, so perhaps there are other must-haves I should pick up while I'm there?

Any tips would be appreciated.
