Shameless Plug: Check out my "Simple Shop Hoist" article in the Feb '97 Journal. You don't need to get this elaborate, but a chain-driven hoist with three or four anchor points on the plate work marvelously. Also in that issue (I think) there was a tip for making bent metal rim guards, that clip over the top of the rim and protect it when you remove and re-install the plate. Good Luck!
