Tool questions.

I have changed tires using an old neighbor’s rig years ago. It is a wrestling match to say the least. You also need a big hammer. Professional type equipment use bead breakers and tire removing/installing tools that do not touch the rim. You have to have alloys on at least one of the three cars in the photo. Even with steel rims, scratches are a source of rust. Then there is the balancing issue. I have been getting tires at Costco. They do just tires and batteries and I have been impressed.

Never did compression testing. Never had to.

There have been a few brands of bleeders folks have talked about on the board. I think the best brake bleeder is my wife or kid’s foot.
