Along with decent quality 2ft breaker bar and six sided socket I also carry a torque wrench to put the wheel back on. A bottle jack under the suspension arm or axil is also preferable to the windy devise the car comes with under the body.
I was unaware changing a wheel was illegal on motorways, was this not the idea of the triangle 50 yds down the road. Obviously pull as far to the left as possible on the hard shoulder. I would have it changed and be on my way before the wombles arrived.
Paul.
