Sounds like some additional tools are in order for my next drop.

I did use an impact for removal, and indeed it took no less than 5 minutes per wheel.
But for install, no impact can be used, and that's when you need to tighten all six bolts around and do another round with torque wrench for proper torque. Then comes into play this trick with the ratchet and cheater bar or if you don't have a cheater bar have the ratchet rest on something tall enough, like a pile of wood planks. Piece of cake.
