Default CL "Braker Bar"
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.

What's wrong with the truck pedal depressor?

nothing really...it's $24 and works just fine...but if there was another $20 smaller deal that ratcheted into place that would be sweet.

It looks and works better than the truck thing.

Prototype is in my trailer. Heading to the track tomorrow and then a wedding for the weekend. I'll take a few pics on Monday and post. I wanted to gauge interest before I made a few more. They will be more than $20 though. More like $50.

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