Just go to your local Harbor Freight store and get a set of wrenches for $20. You need the right tools to do these kinds of jobs. I always find myself in the middle of a job and I don't have what I need....yep trip to the store.

As far as the alignment goes, yes you can do it with the tires you have but just recheck after you install the new ones.

I use long straight pipes and chalk to align my carts. I use the pipes and a helper to hold them against the outside of the tire/rim, then transfer the location onto the garage floor with chalk. Do both sides. Use a long pipe to mark the perfect center of the cart and draw another chalk line. Then measure the difference between the lines and adjust the toe to match the center line. I like to set mine up at 1/8" toe in at 6 feet in front, basically slightly toe in.
