Then I can put the tyre on the wheels (which are on the hydraulic trolley jack) and then slide the jack into the vehicle. The rotate the tyre to line up, and slide the trolley jack in a bit more more ... then push.

Thanks for the thoughts.
Like the idea.... In a workshop would work well...

Although it may mean lifting the vehicle far higher than normal...

I didnt mean to bend to fit the tyre... Sit down legs in a V either side of the tyre...tilt the top back towards you and 'walk' the bottom under the hub...
Now push the top of the tyre forward and use a jack to raise/lower the hub until the tyre slides on...

Cheers (hope the foot heals quickly)
