pete- i do all my own tires as well.....however i have never seen anything as hard as these to come off. i only got 2 done, and that was after i went and got 2 people to help.

with a set of steel rims i can do them in about 5 minutes per wheel, very easy. these aluminum rims on my truck SUCK for changing tires and i wont be attempting the other 2, my friend will be doing them with the machine tomorrow. took us 3 hours (and 3 people) to get 2 tires done.

I SURE DO APPRECIATE MY RACING BEADLOCKS!!!!! if they werent so damn expensive all my vehicles would have them!

Exactly. Hoping to be able to get outside and work on the lawn. I also gotta help a buddy replace the ball joints on his '00 350 PSD. And by help I mean stand there drinking a beer and pointing

The resetting of the codes including the requisite shutting down of the engine seems to have resolved the symptoms for now.

I don't know which action truly effects the results, but I'm happy for now.
