Being a pussy and need thoughts changing tires!

I use my other floor jack sometimes, even if you dont have 2 jacks you can use jack stands and a jack. Just takes a little effort to balance the tire combo on the foot of the jack. Easy to roll it straight into the axle flange and onto a stud.

The one that kills me is hand lifting the 35 onto the spare tire rack! Luckily we all don't have to do that often.

Always used a pry bar. Even when I used to work ok big rigs. We had those wheel dollys all over the shop and even pneumatic wheel lifts but I always found it easier and way faster just to jam a pry bar and give it a little lift.

Yup, it works. In fact you see roadside tire shops in Mexico where their only tools are a 1.5m tire iron (that they also use as a short lift), a mallet, a socket set, rat tail file and two screw drivers. They break down, patch and change everything from motor cycles to big rigs by hand with no power tools.
