I just had to take a leaking left rear tire off and take it to a tire dealer. Turns out it is a defective rim. Ended up taking it back to the Montana dealer and they are taking care of it under warranty. Strange how it just started leaking from the back side of the rim. Anyway, I made a step-up block 4 - 2x6's high. Cut the first one 24", the second at 20", the third at 16", and the fourth at 12". Had to go all the way to the fourth board to get the rear high enough off the ground to remove it. Cut the ends at 45 degrees and screwed them together. Worked pretty well for me. I was going to spend the $50.00 at CW and buy the Trailer-Aid, but I really don't think it would lift it high enough to remove the wheel. I had the lumber laying around anyway and saved 50 bucks. I know what you're saying about the concensus - seems lifting by the axle or the frame has its problems, so I opted to do the step-up block. Hope this helped.
