Repair guidance for this model year

For 2019 late-model work: Modern vehicles increasingly mix aluminum, high-strength steel and coated fasteners. Use the exact fastener record and service-manual procedure for the joint you are touching; do not adjust torque or add compounds unless the procedure calls for it.

Tools you will need

Metric and SAE socket set (8mm-22mm plus 1/4"-7/8"), 6-point impact-rated
Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
Replacement washers, threadlocker, anti-seize, or dry-thread preparation only when the exact service procedure specifies them
