   I carry a breaker bar and sockets that fit the lug nuts. I've had too much   
   experience with those OEM wrenches that don't fit anything known to man. I   
   also carry a bottle jack although the OEM scissors jack works well.   
      
   In the rare cases where a tire shop has put the wheels on I immediately go   
   home and attempt to remove them. I have an impact wrench for the ones the   
   Amazing Hulk tightened. Then I replace them to a torque that I can remove.
