Abstract: An elongated shank-type tool is provided including a handle on one end and an integral open convolution coil on the other end to be threadingly passed through a mounting stud receiving opening in a wheel after which the coil may be engaged over a vehicle hub wheel mounting stud, the handle end of the tool may be raised to elevate an associated wheel in alignment with the studs on the wheel hub and the lower portion of the wheel may be displaced inwardly toward an associated wheel hub for engaging the lower studs through the corresponding stud receiving openings. After a lug nut has been threaded on a lower stud, the coil may be disengaged from the associated wheel mounting hub stud and threaded back through the associated mounting stud receiving opening.
