blackpearl6: try this. When mounting the wheels back on the car, get a long crowbar, heck you can even bend one to suit your ability or inability to bend over depending on your back strength, but position the crowbar directly at 6 o'clock under the tire and use it to balance the wheel on while you get the uppermost lug nut started. It's all cake after that. Works remarkably well.
time to solve the spinal issues that have plagued man. I gotta think we have the technology right here to solve this, wish Google or someone with the will and money get the 6million dollar man thing on track. Bud you make me ashamed when I make excuses due to my back issues that have plagued me. Please keep the video coming.
@CNTWLK Thanks for the compliment! Believe me, I give quads all the respect in the world. Life is hard enough as a para...multiply that by 10 with limited hand (and arm) control.
this is a random and completely unrelated question, but if you were ever to have an operation on your legs or something, would you have to go under anesthetic? im just curious and i cant find the answer on google :L great videos by the way...
@minimisstrouble Yes, I would still have to go under. Even though I can't directly feel my skin, my body would still respond to extreme pain. It's called autonomic disreflexia...basically meaning your blood pressure shoots up, you feel extremely sick and you can even black out. I've had this happen once and it wasn't fun. Good question though. Thanks!
@Deepin210 Thanks! The winter wheels are 17's...my summer rims are 19" OEM G35 forged wheels...LOVE THEM! I actually think the OEM 19's look better than most aftermarket wheels.
ive been thinking about doing a video of me doing a break job. i have done about 10 ore more since i have been paralyzed. and have done allot of other automotive work. i am a technician actually. i have a lift in my garage that i bought and my dad and my brother and i installed it. i have had large trucks and also small cars on it. ill be sure to do a video soon to show u. its really cool. i used to have to do it the way your doing it for a few months and then decided i was tired of it =) lol
@jimirockett2000 you should do so... there are vids about transfers and weight lifting and so on, but few about more precise activities that could give other wheelchair users ideas of how to, and also free their mind about what is possible or not, you 2 shows that one should try before being sure that something is not possible :-) (So many valids with wheelchair in their mind ;-) )
Hey bud...your my hero! Being incomplete, I had issues changing them but I still do it....and pull them to clean the wheel wells, breaks, suspension....it's not easy but I have to do it. I'm glad to see you going for it...and safely too. Keep it up and the videos too......
I wanna see you get a flat on the highway and try doing it your self .

You can still use the breaker bar...just get a longer piece of piping that fits over the breaker bar for me leverage.

Awesome! You could really use some D'locks wheelchair brakes since you use your brakes so much and do stuff like this. Great vid!
