I thought all tool kits came with a mounting post?
Get an impact gun and you'll be able to swap all 4 wheels in 10 minutes using rear jack points.

So did I--I know I've been using the one that came in my tool kit for 15 years now. Luckily someone told me what it was for early on. Mounting wheels is a nightmare without it.

When I lift the car with the rear jacking point, if you go up a little bit more the front wheel will come off the ground too. The stiffness of the chassis is incredible.
