Here's another one:

Mounting a wheel: I always try to move the bolt hole on the wheel hub to the 12 o'clock position. I then make sure the wheel bolt hole is the same. With driveway repairs aligning the lug bolt holes while holding up a wheel and tire can be maddening.

Also try using a large phillips screw driver to help align the lug bolt and the hub hole.
