Well I was looking at the tool box the other day because Christmas is comming. I was woundering what other speicalty/oddball tools the Focus uses? I have a good selection of metric sockets and renches, most for 6-19mm. I also have a slection of allen head sockets and Thorx along with an assortment of SAE sockets/wrenches.
What other special tools

(From memory, so confirm before buying. :lol
The front axle is 30 or 32mm or so and the rear is 27mm. Those are probably bigger than what you already have. I picked up the socket for the front at Shucks a while ago and the rear one was already in the tool box.
I hear the rear discs need a special tool for pushing the pistons back into the calipers. Sears, Harbor Freight, probably Shucks, etc. should have that.
I've got a Motive brake pressure bleeder, available at Euro Sport/Focus Sport and other places.
Other random crap I have that you shouldn't buy: Strut spring compressors (2 different sets, thanks for the one set Mike!) and a MTX-75 (and V6 Duratec) service tool set. I have no idea if any of the tools in there apply to the 6-Speed.

Per Steve Powell at Tousley Ford; from service manual:
For SVT...
Front hub: 32 mm nut; torque spec is 316 NM
Rear hub: 30 mm nut; tightening is a 2-stage process:
- first tighten to 35 NM
- then, while rotating the hub in the opposite direction when tightening, tighten to 235 NM
