I have done virtually all of the service work on my old Toyota for
years, however I have done little of my own work on my 79 Rabbit,
due to desire to preserve the warantee and lack of special tools. 
Now that the car is long past warantee, I would like to know how
feasible it is for me to do the routine maintenance on it.  I have
the service manual and am put off by the need for special tools to
do so many routine things.  Are there any amateur mechanics out
there who have worked on the rabbit?  What special tools do I really
need for routine maintenance (what you are supposed to do every 15K
miles)?  Is there anywhere (chicago area) I can rent or borrow the
necessary tools?

Thanks in advance.
