Is it wrong that I'm finding amusement over ppl struggling to attach these minuscule biscuits? I challenge anyone struggling with these toys to get old then hump THESE monsters into place (not that hard tbh).

Truck tires are a challenge. Trying to put them on a hub-centric hub with wheel bolts would be tough. First world problem, but late in the day, the 33's on the Hummer get bit difficult to slide on the studs when I have the truck at chest height...

So 8 stud'ers... torque one - skip 3, torque one - skip 2 ... ?

Yeah, but why on earth would you use your head to hold them on? A wheel falls off by means of the bottom moving outwards, so all you need to do to hold it on is put your knee or foot against the rim/tyre at the bottom. Super easy, and you can easily reach around with your hands to get bolts and tools etc. Always put the bottom bolt in first, for the same reason as holding the wheel on at the bottom with your foot. Once that's in, you can let go of the wheel and put the rest in at your leisure.

Can't believe I actually literally spelled that out.

Duallies are the most fun because you get to hold the one you just hoisted on while you lift the other one then shove them all into place at the same time while starting the lug nuts. I could use one of them there Trunk Monkeys

Yes skip 3, back and forth 180 degrees till they're all down, then the long handled breaker bar for torque

Yeah, but you end up looking like the Tin Man after using that shit. Lol.

I am a fan of repurposing the "asian squat" for remounting my wheels. The position turns out to be very well balanced and stable when holding a wheel with both hands. Further, I can place my elbows on my knees and get the weight off and just use my elbows/forearms like a lever to align the wheel to hub

Lol, I just jizz a bit on a paper towel, then it only gets on about 30% of my body.

OK, the forehead involvement was a bit of an exaggeration (um, I think I only did it once ).

And yes, I do find this whole notes comparison on this topic a bit amusing. Hence my... um "contribution".
