Default magnetic camber gauge?

Anyone had experiance useing these gauges?

just got a sealey gauge to sort my polo/volvo out, doesnt need to be 100% spot on but closer is better then nowhere near lol.

so can anyone give any tips on useing these.

was thinking, wheels off, lower back to standerd hight on bottom arms so suspension is compressed to normal and hub is sitting where it would with the wheel on, then stick gauge on disk and go from there?

Can you stick it on the brake disc through the wheel?

should be able to but still need to get to the two bolts for holding the strut on, so i can turn the top one (with a cam in it to adjust camber). and since the polo is mega low doubt i can get under it and dont have use of a ramp.....

i'd make a bracket up that bolts onto the hub, but would sit the car on the brackets to emulate the wheel, then have a flat section to put the mount on?
