    Where do you get the air line with the glad hand on one end and the fitting to the jack on the other end?

    Pilot / Flying J - ~$30.00 That's just the glad hand adapter. You'll need to buy a hose and QD fitting at Home Depot / Lowe's

    The glad hand air hose probably works the best. You still need a torque wrench to make sure you get the lugs back on tight enough though... If you do it by hand, a torque multiplier is your best friend.

    If its an outside tire you can drive the inside up on a block of wood and peel off the old tire (with some tire bars) and install the new tire. The starting fluid and lighter trick works well if you know what you're doing.
