Hope you weigh over 160lbs.

 

I weigh 180 (yes, I'm trying to lose a little), and I had no trouble last month when I put my winters on. If you have the Precision torque wrench and breaker bar, the 42" length gives you plenty of leverage. And I never used my weight - when applying force I always pulled up so as to not put undue stress on the suspension bits. It's really no big deal once you've done it once...

 

I used a torque multiplier and never had a problem with the wheels moving.

If your mechanically incline, this is a relatively straight forward process. CL gets a bad stigma regarding it's difficulties, but it's not hard just take a bit more time with the right tools.

 

I just pay someone to do it.

Time is too precious.

 

I can change all 4 of my wheels in 60-90 minutes. I couldn’t get to and from the dealer in that little time, plus needing someone to help transport the other wheels. I enjoy doing it, and it gives me a chance to do a thorough cleaning. But to each his own.

 

 

 

The steering lock keeps the wheels reasonably straight. Just don't turn the ignition. I have KESSY, not sure if that changes things. But all 991s have steering lock, just a matter of engaging it.

 

I made a couple of time lapse videos when I changed mine. I didn’t experience any issue with wheels turning when tightening up whilst the car was in the air.

See, it doesn’t take that long. Good job.
