For anyone wondering if you need these or not - stop thinking and buy.
These things make changing a wheel a breeze. On a nice day, on a flat drive, with a good jack and strong arms, getting a wheel on and off without gouging your alloys on the brakes is not hard.
Make the conditions rainy, or dark, or on a bad camber, or on a less than ideal jack/jacking surface or someone with weaker strength, then mounting 20+ kgs on to the studs becomes a real pain without these alignment tools.
I use them all the time. Tighten them down finger tight and then back them off 1/8 turn before use. That way they are easy to remove.
Highly recommended.

Thanks Robbie, nice testimonial.
I use mine regularly - changing my tyres over for off-road and on-road as necessary. When i change all four wheels in one go, you really feel the difference.
I'm down to 1 set now, subject to payment being received on the others.
When they are all sold, I will put a sign-up on this forum, along with RRS and FFRR to gauge interest before I make another batch.There are two rules for success,
1. Never tell everything you know.

Put me down for a set as well. Also so you make or will these ones fit a Freelander 2? If yes I'd be looking for a second set. Thanks
