I'm sure most of you have had to remove a tire/wheel from the car. Our wheels don't hang on studs like other cars do. You have to carefully position the wheel on the center hub and hope you have the holes lined up for the wheel bolts. Its also a PIA, as in heavy, to hold your wheel and tire in that postition. NO MORE! The "Wheel Hanger" from Snap on Tools gives you two extensions. You remove one of the bolts on the top side and then install the wheel hanger, can be done by hand. Gives the wheel something to hang on/ position it while being removed or reinstalled. They come two to a pack and Snap On's part # WHM2. I don't know if any other tool maker makes these, my son gave them to me as a late birthday present.

Yea great tool to have. I made a set using some old bolts. All you need to do is cutoff the hex and grind a new smaller hex...total cost: 20 minutes.

 

that is great and cheap too, i am going to get me a set!

Like these? By: Waldig.

 

Yes, I also grinded a square at the end to fit an adjustable wrench...but you don't really need to...just lube the tread and hand tightening is sufficient to hold the wheel in place.

 

where did you get those at and how much?

 

It's Waldig's idea.

A couple of bucks at hardware or parts store...

 

oh, you mean buy a regular bolt and grind the head off it i assume.

 

Yeah or you can buy the $40 tool from SnapOn as per papur's original post.

 

Mine was gift, if it was up to me I'd make em'. Still a good idea which ever way you go.

I bet "FP" goes for the chrome.

 

Mine are polished to the point they look like chrome!

Even my hand turned to chrome

 

Or $10 for one from MetalNerd, if you don't want to make your own.
