Wheel Jack
 
I am having a slight issue with my right shoulder and don’t want to risk lifting a wheel to mount my winter set up so I have been looking for a product where I can put the wheel on a Jack and then have the Jack lift it and I can slide it on to mount it.

I have never used a wheel Jack but if you have do you think this is a good unit ….

Those are more for moving the car around. i don’t know that it will get it high enough to do much for you.

Agreed. I think your best bet would be to modify a small motorcycle lift like this one.

I was thinking that also until I read the comments that someone was using it to mount his keep wheels. It says it goes 8” in height but I was not sure if that was a measurement of the unit itself or the guest it raises.

I like this idea, I would have to google it being that link is a foreign website.

I only did a 10 second search for images and picked something like what I had in mind. I'm sure there are many similar options available. One would need to modify it to hold a tire safely, otherwise you are back at square one.

Semi-"jacking" this jack thread.. I'm interested in getting a low rolling stool to help me with the 3 swaps coming my way in March. Had some cartilage repair done on my knee, so I'd like to minimize stress on it. Anyone has a favorite one?

I placed the order for the harbor freight one in my original post and see if it does the job … I agree with FC the motorcycle one would need a bit of customizing to get it to do the job so I figured let me try the other one first.

Everyone says the Vypers are the best. I haven’t been able to stomach the price though.

I'm real happy with this But I bought it because had read such bad reviews on so many of these types of rolling chairs, and these guys have a large distributing plant less than 25 miles away from me. (they sell a lot to the BMW plant)

I have a Kreepstool to go with my Kreepster, although mine looks a bit different as the design has changed a bit over 20+ years.
