It's not too hard to just swing/rotate the wheel and get a bolt hole
lined up. The wheel isn't centered at that point, but after you get the
first bolt in, it's easier to do so.


Think of it the other way - remove 4 bolts, loosen the last, and let the
wheel flop so it hits the hub. That - in reverse.
