   I noticed that the tire tech had a problem removing one of the wheels on   
   my pickup. I'm glad it wasn't a flat in the middle of the night on I-35...   
   Just a repair of a slow leak caused by a nail.

   You did intend to replace all of those lines while you were in there,   
   right? I wouldn't worry about turning the wheel checking for leaks, I'd   
   just remove the lines and change them out.

   I hate it when that happens. Even working in a fairly warm garage isn't   
   very comfortable when it's cold outside.
