Yeah, I have to admit, tire's a bit heavy, maybe not for Gov. Shwarzenegger, but a bit for me, a friend had to help me

I had to change one, rear passenger side. let me put it this way, it took me more time to get the gear out of the rear door and open all the plastic and rubber covers than the time it took me to get the lugs off, REAL EASY, then it took me DOUBLE the time to put every damn thing back in place

part of an emergency kit should also include a large pair of pliers to pull a large nail out of a tire.
as for the sensor, yes, fix-a-flat will destroy them as others here have said. however, if out in the middle of nowhere, and it is a true emergency, use it. a new sensor is only about $50-75.00. i carry a truck size can of fix-a-flat, as well as plugs, pliers, and a compressor.

If so, how easy/difficult was it getting those lugs off using the stock emergency kit?

LOL, I just read my post quickly. Not to be confused with butt plugs.

So sledge. I am a wimp and can lift with my legs but I don't have any upper body strength. I weigh about 115. I don't want to take a tire off and not be able to put the damn thing on the lugs. How much do you weigh? If you are stronger then me and had a friend help you I will wait for OnStar. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The trick I've always used for tire changing is to only jack the car/truck up just enough that the studs are lose in the wheel. Then your not lifting the new tire, just locating it on the studs.
