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 …. https://www.harborfreight.com/1300-l...iABEgIaV_D_BwE |

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

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.
