With experience & right kit you should get wheel changes down to half an hour.
Though Ken does it quicker than that ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

What, half a hour each, easy.
I was taking caution on my side, as i've never put a trolley jack near one of these before, it was dark and the last thing i wanted was to go through the compressor cover or similar, the fuel tank. Got there in the end. ATB

Best bet for your trolley jack is to get a Shiney Mousse adapter.
[look out for next group buy]
This replaces the castled saddle, it's got a pin and slots into the chassis jacking point.
Stops all the faffing around positioning the jack saddle.
Also a cross brace to spin off the nuts once loosened.
Oh and btw, dump the lock nuts.
30 min the lot ... dead easy.

Cheers Ron.
I've still to get around to getting a 3ton trolley jack, but i'll keep any eye out for the adaptor.
All finished, just a pair of xeons now and that's all that's being spent on it.
