Video: Paraplegic changing tires on G35 Coupe
I've been making "how-to" videos for a while now on how I do things now that I am paralyzed from the arm pits down. Since I have no core control, changing out my wheels and tires is a little tricky but at this point I think I got it down. Just thought I'd share!
I posted this vid a while back describing how I drive my G and how I integrated the "manual shift mode" into my hand control.

Brian, you effing rock! But I don't understand why you didn't get that lazy cameraman to help you or at least train the dog to get you a sammich, haha! Anyone who says they can't bother to change their own wheels should watch this video!
Just curious, does your electric impact have a torque setting? If not, you may find you get those lugnuts far too tight. 85 lb-ft is surprisingly little torque, I find.
Edit: redpearl beat me to it, LOL...

You could use a torque stick with the impact , they are usually used with 1/2" pneumatic impacts but if that is a 1/2" electic impact is strong enough it should still get the torque correct I would think. Here is one for $20
