Correction..the GS rep was Kim.
Yeah I almost did it all. I'll just be honest..that 16 ply H rated tire on a 17.5" solid steel wheel is more than I want to pis* ant around if I don't have to. In October I'll be 70 and with 3 back surgeries. I do need to get a pipe or something to lever the spare off the carrier, rather than rely on GS.
I carry a torque wrench and DeWalt 20 volt 1/2" impact, drill, recip saw, and 1/4" driver.
I hope I'm qualified to change a tire. 20 years a Millwright and 20 more as a Machinery Specialist for the biggest oil company in the world.
I actually had my 9mm in my pocket and when the dirt bags drove up I had my hand on it thinking we were getting robbed. Yeah they were that bad looking.
Yikes, they must have been rough looking.
I get the weightlifting part, I'm getting up there, too.
It just sounded like you had it under control, except the finish.
Good luck next time out. We've always had pretty good luck with GSERS the few times we've had to use it.
