Brakes done, wheel install?



With help of many  I was successful in getting the rear rotors and pads
changed on my 1993 100s today; one good unexpected outcome was that I found
I didn't have a tire iron in the vehicle I had been driving for the past 2+
years! Brilliant.

All went decently well until the time came to put the wheel back on.
Getting it all lined up was insane... used to drive Saab 9000 (quiet down)
and they had a little nipple on the hub that you could hang the wheel on
while you were getting things started. Maybe a properly sized stud with a
slot in the end for a screw driver, put the stud in, hand the wheel, get a
few bolts in and then unscrew it?

Other experiences?
