i can chime in since im a short guy and was doing auto mechanic and some heavy duty stuff at the same time,
first off, your gonna have a hell of a time getting the hood open, i was about 130lbs and had trouble getting the front open, you gotta grab the front of the hood and use your weight to pull the hood open
there are wheel dollies you can use to move wheels around if they are the type where 2 wheels are bolted together, but otherwise, if its just a single tire, your probably dealing with a wheel thats over 100lbs, try lifting a wheel of that weight onto the axle and holding a 30lb impact gun to tighten the wheels
there are no tire machines for mounting tires, you gotta just fall on the rim while holding the tire and it will just pop in, no need to balance them
everything is bigger and heavier, a brake drum on a tractor trailer is usually 100lbs
when your working in heavy duty, it almost feels like your working out 8 hours a day, its tough and hard work but its fun driving those trucks around
auto mechanic is not bad but be prepared to invest alot in tools and scanners, you cant install a battery in a bmw these days without having a scan tool
