Changing wheels with PCCB's

Needing to install the spacer, I was bit concerned for an accidental slip and causing damage to rotors/calipers.

While sitting in the garage and thinking a way to lower the risk, I found some bubble sheet wraps laying around so I went to work.

Make sure you jack up the car as high as possible so as to get a better grip on the wheel/tire especially the rear ones.

Once you get the wheel on the mounting poles,just pull the wrap off and slide the wheels on...

So what do you all think about my creativity

I use to put a towel around the caliper and rotor ( it was tight fit) then I would use two guide pins with them positioned at 9 & 3. I was more concerned about scratching my rims! : )

Ceramic's are over rated...steel is real.
