Folks -

My son couldn't get a flat tire off with the
conventional lug wrench. Now have the
breaker bar and socket combination.
Have a Craftsman for my regular tools,
but for tire use I bought a 25" breaker
bar ($12) and 19mm deep impact socket
($4) from Harbor Freight and just leave
them under the back seat. No problems
since. Not the greatest place to buy tools
but for this use they're ok. Did the same
trick for the daughter's Jetta with a smaller
socket. The 25" bar is a great help.
