Well, I have had my wheels off and on more times than I would have liked in the poast 3 weeks (new shocks and Wildwood brake kits all the way around -will post full write-ups later). In regards to my knockoff tool I posted about earlier on this thread: worthless! Well, that's probably too harsh a description. The reality is I used my trusty 6lb lead hammer with no issues. I have gotten so used to taking the rims off and on, that its become fairly simple process. I will say the rear right wheel is always the toughest as someone noted earlier. I will keep the tool for a just-in-case scenario...God willing, I hope that day never comes. The other good news is I have become an expert on the wire protecting and wire spinners - easy, and fast and looks like a piece of art. So its true that practice makes perfect.
