    Jim,

    I don’t think so. If anyone out there in Prevost land is looking for a tool to make wheel removal easier, your options are a bit limited.

    The X12 is a good choice if you need a tool that doesn’t require air. Paired with a 1/2″ torque wrench, it’s effective no matter where you are. It’s a bit heavy and cumbersome but gets the job done.

    For shop work, the best setup is a large compressor—at least 6 HP with a 175 PSI limit and an 80-gallon tank. Combined with a 1″ impact wrench and 1/2″ hose, it handles even the toughest nuts and bolts with ease.

    If you’re okay with a two-person approach, a 3/4″ drive wrench with a 4-foot breaker bar can be effective. This setup works solo for front wheels, but for tags and drives, you’ll need an extension and a second person to prevent the wrench from cocking.

    A 1/2″ impact wrench is handy for various tasks on the coach, like brake chamber replacement and shock replacement. However, investing in essential tools like those mentioned will ultimately be cheaper than repeatedly paying for professional service.

    At POG III, it was clear how quickly and easily tasks like windshield replacement could be done. Most jobs are similarly manageable with the right tools and a bit of effort.
