Re: Why Bolts

["Doyt W. Echelberger" <Doyt@nwonline.net>]

I also carry a 2 foot pipe wrench, which I use to turn the drive axle when
lining up the holes in the rotor and hub. And I carry an equally long
breaker bar to remove the wheel bolts while on the road.....17 mm socket.
And a torque wrench to finish the job when i do get the bolts back in.

I once tried to rotate the wheels on my 'q'  while it was sitting on a flat
concrete pad in my home driveway. I had to go to Sears for a breaker bar
and socket, and then had to locate the pipe wrench to line up the holes. If
it had happened on the road in the dark I would still be sitting there.

And I move the bar, socket and wrenches from car to car for long trips.
