    It is damned hard to loosen the nuts first up with the wheel off the ground.
    So I loosen them first and just re tighten them a little so that the wheel is sitting firmly on the studs and wont move during the lift and damage the thread.
    It is easy then to just hold the wheel and remove the nuts.

    I have one had been using it frequently changing from AT to MT and back again on my D3. It takes all of my weight and then some to get the car up and that is in on nice easy concrete base. I am about 80kg and 6ft.
    Never used my for winching. The lift points are a sore point on my D3. I can use my rock sliders but the ARB bull bar points are to close to the centre IMO and half the car comes up. discussed here. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/recovery/1...lift-jack.html

    My winch is used a lot and I would suggest that is required unless you travel off road with others Going with others is of course a good idea and allows snatching if bogged negating the need for a winch. Actually my winch "was" used a lot before I put MT tires on for the fun stuff

    I've got one! Never tied a D3, but I used it to change track rollers on my BTD6
