Just watched the YouTube video and that is a brilliant idea.

However, he did look like he'd benefit from placing a gardening kneeling mat under the wheel to help him more easily slide that heavy wheel onto the hangers

I've ordered this

not sure if the rod will be long enough but for the price worth a try

Yes, I saw lots of listings for that company but was not aware of the exact thread needed.

That said, my car has bolts coming out of the hub, so from the look of these, they would be unsuitable as you would need a female end to go on hub bolt.

Could be wrong of course...... Keep us posted.

i thought the same as these do look like male and not female as is required.. ... - .- -.

Would welding rods onto a couple of spare wheel nuts not work just as well? John

you'd have to grind your nuts down so that the wheel hole will fit.. ... - .- -.

Yes, whatever is on the hub side would have to pass back through the hole in the wheel, or you'd never get it off without taking the wheel off again after you've aligned it.

Just a female sleeve long enough would do, but you'd need to have the inner side threaded to suit the stud.

In fact, thinking about it, you could just use a bit of tube so long as it went through the hole in the alloy and over the stud on the hub. You'd have to be careful not to damage the stud thread or leave the wheel on it for too long, as it wouldn't be attached to the car, but it would act as a guide whilst you got a wheel nut on....... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

would the 140mm one of those do, with the head cut off and filed smooth/rounded?

I might be missing something here then.....

So..... What would you do with it once you've cut the head off ?

You would still be left with a bolt stud and a bolt stud on the hub. You will still need a female tube of some sort.

The car has a bolt stud on it. I imagine the goal here is to artificially and temporarily make the stud on the car longer so you can drop the wheel on it easier.....

I recon we need the inside of a female tube with that thread, not the bolt stud. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

the FF has studs coming out of the hub so no bolt type thingy will work.. ... - .- -.

I got the ones shown in the YouTube video from the manufacturer but via eBay ( item code eBay Item No. 400776075158) GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

That's the proper tool.

In the listing, you can see that it has a female end that's threaded to go over the stud in the hub.

I'll post the specs when they arrives so that you engineering boys can have a fettle on your home lathes

Mmmm....what commission rate shall we say?

If I'm reading this right, I'm getting a pair of the ones PM2 has ordered for £13 odd... To compliment my kneeling mat
