I had EDITED my first post in this Trread but for some reason it was not saved. I’ve RE-edited it to point out that the NT link first showed that little dolly at less then Ten-dollars…(!) …but it’s actually $149.99 for a PAIR.

I changed all 4 on my M series when I bought a set of like new wide radials.

Just used a bottle jack to get the right height, rolled the tire on place and rotated the axle shaft as needed. No need to lift the tire off the ground.

Buy the size you need. Get pin started in one hole and then rotate the tire to get the studs started.

Here's one I made a couple of years ago for changing wheels on our Unimog - 46", they weigh a bit over 200 kg each.

It operates with a battery drill onto an old scissor jack.

Works well. Makes it relatively easy for me to get these on and off by myself.
