I find steel wheels easy to fit on Omegas, but alloy wheels trickier 'cos I cannot easily see the threaded holes through the wheels, nor engage the screws in the threads with my fingers. I use a head torch and a 17mm box spanner.




What you need is a 100mm length of 12mm bar with a short length of M12x1.5 thread on one end. You hang the wheel off it, and replace it with the bolt having fitted the other four. Big Audis and some Peugeots have them in the toolkit.


PM me your address Terry, and I'll send you one.
