Abstract
An automobile wheel-changing assistant tool, comprising a base member, a plurality of roller rails with rollers mounted thereto. The roller rails are secured to upstanding walls of the base member and have rollers mounted thereon. The rollers rotate freely about the roller rails and may slide therealong. A tunnel cutout is centrally disposed along the bottom surface of the base member such that a lever arm may be inserted under the device. Once inserted, the upper portion of the lever arm may be pushed downward to lift the device and a tire to be installed. A slider plate comprising a low-friction surface allows the assembly to slide freely when it is placed thereon, allowing easy handling of the device and associated wheel. In use, a tire is placed onto the rollers, slid into position near a vehicle wheel well, pressed forward along the rollers and rotated into position for securement.
