If you have gear leg fairings installed this method won't work. There is also an extension that goes into the gear leg after you remove the axel nut. It has a place where a bottle jack would fit to raise the wheel off of the ground. But, you have to remove the wheel pant first. First flat I had away from home I found the two bottom screws in my wheel pant were almot sitting on the ground and I couldn't remove them. Now those botton screws are hex head so I can get to them. Even so I prefer my wing jacks.

I could see the problem with the lower screws coming so I moved them up 2" from the wheel cutout.
I have 6 nutplates on my Pitts that I can't get to with the wings on ..... and the holes are terribly noticeable. I give a lot of thought to where I place the nutplates now!
Again, my scissors jack fits under a 3' X 3/4" iron pipe inserted in the main axle. Lots cheaper than gear leg fitting and it works with the gear fairings on.

Albert, actually it does work with the gear leg fairing attached. In fact, you can leave it on the gear and re-install the wheel pant and go flying if you wanted to (without the bottle jack, of course). A floor or scissor jack will work if your traveling without the bottle jack.
It fits on the leg where the pant to leg fairing is, and clears both. I designed it that way so it can be stored there if you wanted to (either gear leg). You would need to use lock nuts to secure it if you were to leave it on for flight.
With the tire just off the ground, I tested the stability of the system by ranking on the wing tip fore and aft, up and down, simulating about a force 5 hurricane, and was unable to knock it off the jack. Try that with your wing jacks. This is the safest way to service a wheel.

Where can I buy one. J
You have me sold. I use the Vans solution and not very happy with it, but it works in a pinch……
I am doing a tire rotation in Dec so I will need both tires off the ground at the same time. Maybe I want two………..
