Tyre pressures depend on tyre size, type of vehicle, there are plenty of threads on this one, the last one I think discussed tyre pressures while towing. Have a browse under Caravanning and Mechanical forums.
Re wheel brace, I use the standard vehicle one ( located under rear offside passenger seat ) but use a 13/16" socket to torque them up.
However mine are alloys, it may differ for steel ?
There are plenty of breakers about, see threads or look on ebay.
Best regards, Rustic

You might be better off using a 21mm socket.

I carry a 24" breaker bar with both 19 (for the steels) and 21mm (for the alloys) deep impact sockets for it, they are deep enough to mean I don't need an extension and I'll never have trouble with not being able to undo a nut nor will the other half. I find Impact sockets wear better in the long run for this sort of use.

If I'm going on a trip or greenlaning I now chuck my battery impact driver in, not had to use it yet but if I did it would cut the time taken to cchange a wheel in half.
