I always get my local shop to change the tyres, but I always take and refir the wheels, its a straightforward enough task. Granted, a lot of home mechanics would not have a 14mm key in their tools, but like most tools, buy it once and youve got it forever. I was an engineering technician for 48 years, so I suppose I may have a reasonable selection enough to do most tasks on vehicles. If I didnt have something, Its sometimes possible to make something to do the job. Of the top of my head, I think he FZ6 front axle is a 17mm hex key for removal, I didnt have one, so I made one by welding two M10 nuts together, and that now rests in my toolbox.
