A procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurism in Oct 2019 and a total knee replacement in Aug 2020 has left me without as much energy as I used to have. Being 81 might be a factor also.
I have been procrastinating when it comes to removing my wheels to clean the barrels until now. I found this tool that allows me to r & r my wheels without my legs under the car and then put them back on without getting fingerprints on the clean wheels. It also saves my back. I'm only posting this in case some of you old guys might be interested.
Interesting tool for easy removal to be assured. Where did you find this contraption
Glad to hear that you got thru your surgeries and ready to enjoy your C6 again.
The final hurdle is the get through this pandemic and get back to normal. I miss our long road trips
Cool. I suppose once you start removing the wheel and tire from the car, one of your hands has to hold onto the wheel & tire to prevent it from falling off of the wheel dolly. But the yellow handle seems pretty far back to hold on the yellow handle and still hold the tire/wheel unless you have 8-foot wingspan.
The arms that the tire sets on are also rollers. It makes it easy to line up the studs with the holes in the wheel. I don't use it to take them off, just to put them back on. It's simple to hold the wheel with one hand and start a couple lug nuts. 8' wing span not necessary.

Thank you for posting and sharing information about this tool. We octogenarians must stick together and find ways to help our tired bones !
Really great info, My biggest drawback at 70 is my hands and shoulder and Arthritis ! But I'll take any help I can get including 1/2 and 3/8 impact wrenches.
I huff and puff and get my legs filthy and kills my back, love this,
That is exactly what I used to do. Since my total knee replacement was less than 8 months ago I was reluctant to do it that way. I couldn't take looking at the brake dust on my gloss black wheels any longer so I spent the money on this. I'll clean them more often now.
Just wish I had chosen satin black instead.
New tool
