Yes, a compressor help immensely with this.

A compressor, you know me better then that. I did that on the living room watchin TV with a 4 way lug wrench. The carpet held the rotors in place real nice.

IF YOUR INSTALLING NEW LUGS: Be sure to check the nuts a few times for the first 100 miles or so in case you didn't get them seated all the way and they seat themselves while your driving. If you don't catch them before they come to loose, you may end up with a lose tire. I know your all askin, how in the world would he know that.

Thanks for the replies, answered my question, not sure about doing it on the living room floor...got hardwood floors and the wife unit doesn't take to kindly to working on truck parts inside the house.
