Anyone interested in a racheting bar device to depress the brake pedal while changing CL wheels and to torque to specs? Turns it into a one person job. I can make them for those interested.
I've been using the prototype for the season so far and it works great.
It's not a breaker bar to break the CL loose right, it is a brake pedal depressor.
I need one. You don't need breaker bars if you have a torque wrench...

The carpenters clamp works off the seat base and does the job very nicely. Maybe $35.

Thanks for the tip, Adam! I too had the "professional" tool for this job and it constantly relaxed and did not hold the pedal down, making it impossible to get the CL nut loose (or tight).
Use the bottom of the seat to rest it against.....problem solved
It still suck because the seal on the slide eventually breaks
I'm currently using a piece of wood, cut to length with a towel on the seat edge.....seat release to release pressure
Just use the Irwin heavy duty model with 600 lbs clamping force- no issues, I haven't had one fail yet, plus the clamp pads are extra big and help to spread the force on the pedal and the seat, I don't use anything else.
