I was moving states with wife,3 kids and mother in an old HR Holden towing a trailer with what was left of all our worldly goods and money was extremely tight, or I would have had him do it on his tyre machine, which I knew how to operate as well. No matter. We made it here just. Had to sell the trailer to get bond money. All good.

You would have given the guy a great story to tell at the Norseman Pub that night anyway.

I bought a set of Tyre Pliers when they first came out.

Only problem since has been that my mates borrow them and I have never had them when I needed them.

So I either drive over or lift front wheel and lower it onto the flat to break bead.

Works well enough.

When I have had Tyre Pliers around they have always done the job. I am a big boy and it sometimes does require some muscle
