For those of you that service your own centerlock wheels, do you replace these every time u change the rotor? I’m planning on replacing my pccbs with the girodisc steel solution and didn’t know if I need to add these as well. Thx!

I wouldn't unless yours show signs of unusual wear/damage.

I had jackpoint, sold them and much prefer esco, much faster and easier to use. Also I changed CL wheels a million times with big breaker bar, never damaged any part of the car.

The main advantage of the Jackpoint stands is that you can lift the car at the factory recommended jacking point then place the stand underneath the lifting puck, thus both lifting and supporting the car at the optimal location. Where do you lift and then place the jackstand with the Esco stands?

additional option is the rare breaker bar extension adapter for the precision instruments combo. Slightly extends length.

CL alignment tool is a must have, especially if one has PCCB's, but regardless....

I figured I'd go a different route and try a 40" breaker bar and this digital torque meter. Works out to under $150. The digital meter arrived yesterday and seems to be well made. It also came with a certification sheet, but who knows if it's legit. Will report back once I use it. Hoping to find somebody local with a high end wrench and compare torque values.

If you can try to get another torque meter to compare.

This is what sold me on Jackpoint stands. I initially purchased two of them because I thought they were expensive, then after using them and seeing how simple they are to use it was only a no-brainer to buy two more.

I'd be a liar if I didn't initially laugh when I saw the price of the Renntorx tool, but even that is making sense now. Just have to figure out how to get that one past the wife
