I agree that the CLs are a PITA, but you just get used to it, it is a one-person job with the pedal depressor. As for the breaker bar, although I have one, if you have the 3-piece Precision Instruments torque wrench, instead of putting on the 3rd piece on it (the top one), you can use the regular breaker bar as an extension and it will do the job, but I did not think that was safe just in case it somehow slipped.

You will, they really aren't that big a deal.

I too find the brake tool works just fine. I have wheel changes to under 20 minutes, including getting tools out.
