  3. I had exactly this thought, so used to borrow one, but having borrowed one about 6 times I decided to bite the bullet, best call I ever made.

    I will bring my slightly twisted 3/4 inch breaker bar (rear wheel nut and a six foot pole ) to Techenders....Still works for normal wheel nuts..

  9. I think I will invest in a flywheel seal tool, as I tried to install with a hammer and block of wood and it taking a slight slither of the gasket off , so probably need a new gasket as well. Even though its going in square on :-(
