Changing a tire kicked my

[shortylickens]

I got a 3 foot socket wrench and that helps a lot, but cranking the scissor jack requires loads of muscle and at the time I just wasnt in good shape at all. Since the tire incident I've been working out more and eating better.

The cause of my concern was mostly that daily household chores can be exhausting to me, and something which could be very important, like changing a tire, might actually wipe me out.
Thats sad.
I never used to be so unfit.
So I got better.

Oh, apparently its called a breaker bar, not a socket wrench

sounds like someone doesn't use an impact set to max or jump with full body weight on a 6' cheater bar to 'torque' their lugnuts

I don't, as I am not retarded.

I do use a torque wrench set to the proper torque value.

This is very sad for such a young man.

Sorry, but I have been reading this thread off and on for a bit and I do not understand where someone would have to work out in order to change a tire on a car. I am nearly 63 years old and rotate the tires on my truck every oil change ( 5000 Miles ) and I haven't worked out in a gym etc in decades. It isn't hard. I'm puzzled.

I agree, we go for bike rides quite often and have stairs in the house and do a lot of walking, that alone does all I need to stay in shape to change a tire, or restore a car.
