My two years at the gas station while in high school. The station I worked at was the only one in town that fixed split-rim, semi tires, and tractor tires as long as they didn't have fluid in them. I remember using the breaker bar to break down the semi tires, a weighted solid steel bar inside a pipe with a bead breaker on the end. We had to do it all manually on the big tires. We used the lift as a "cage" device while the tire was aired up. Never had one blow apart, but always made me nervous.One time the boss told me to go take the wheel and tire off of a semi tractor trailer that had cows in it to fix the flat. One of my friends was at the station and offered to give me a hand.  He was helping hold the big ole lug wrench on while I was on the cheater bar when one of the cows let loose with a stream of piss that landed square on my friends head, then splashed all over me. We finished the job then went to our local swimming hole (farm pond) and jumped in clothes and all. Nope don't miss that work at all.</blockquote>
