One guy with the gun removes the nut.
Next man pulls the wheel off.
Next man puts the new wheel on.
Gun man then puts the wheel nut back on again.
And if the gun fucks up there is a spare one sitting alongside just in case with a second nut slotted inside just in case.

Nothing is left to chance

they employ the wheelmen from liverpool job centre to ensure professionals are recruited, if you look close you can just make out the perm under the helmets and the race suits are made by addidas lol
