I had to mount some unilug wheels. This is the kind that uses a shouldered lug nuts rather than the washers to keep it centered.
I was having trouble getting the lug nuts started because I couldn't even see where the lug studs were.
I came up with the bright idea of using a couple 4" long pieces of 1/2" copper tubing and slipped them over 2 of the studs.I could then line the studs up with the holes.
Went on about 10x faster than the last time I put them on.
 
Nice.....

I didn't take pictures as I was doing it and I ain't about to take them off again until I have to.
One of these days I will post an update on the progress.
