After 30 years of repairing 4 different mercedes I am having a simple problem with mounting the wheels on my 2002 e320. Because it uses lug bolts I find if difficult to hold the tires up and line up the wheel bolts. Is there a method to this that I am missing? Thirty minutes to install a wheel with tire seems out of whack much less the stress on my back.

I just ordered two guide pins but I am not sure if this is the answer.
