    Takes me about 5mins, 2 Marlboro, a cup of coffee and likely mild to moderate swearing (even for a wheel change)

    I have my wheels off myself a couple of times a year for cleaning. Its just long enough between jobs for me to forget:
    a. what an arse the OEM jack is (need to get a proper one)
    b. the messing about trying to get the wheel back on its studs
