Buy a two foot breaker bar at harbor freight. That's what I did for Marisa's car.

It's pretty unlikely that you'll be changing a truck tire on the side of the road.

I was thinking I probably just screwed myself, but I have never changed a truck tire - and I've had some form of "truck" since 1993. They hold so much volume of air that a slow leak takes forever to fully deflate them, and any pothole that would blow one would also take out the frame of the truck.

The Focus ST was 100 ft-lbs. IIRC, the RX-8 was 88 ft-lbs. 140 is...a lot.

I have one of these in my truck. Works great !! Hmmmm. Pic didn't show. Anyway, it's a telescoping breaker bar that includes deep-well sockets for the lug nuts.

Still loving the truck.
Today I helped a friend cut up a bunch of downed trees and move them to the other end of her property. Now that I'm realizing it might not go in the garage very often, I'm kinda wondering ... should I have gotten a full sized instead? But I think no. I'm guessing when I'm driving it this winter as a snow vehicle I'll be happy with the smaller size. When you're not trying to load it with junk, it's the perfect size.
