Is there a nack to fitting these wheel clamps? I always struggle putting this on my van when I park it on the drive. Getting the 3-legs in the exact correct position to enable the Red cover to fit over them is a real PITA 😡 Is there an easy way?

I don’t know if there’s an easy way but I know what you mean. Ive got one on my trailer.

I pull all the legs out as far as they go then put the top leg over the right hand one and lay on the ground with legs either side of the wheel then push in towards back of tyre. I pull the top leg up to top centre then push in the side legs to the tyre before pulling up the centre bolt to centre of wheel and gently tightening before a final adjustment of the two side legs.

It’s a bit of a pain like you say but they are a good security product so I put up with it.

Just looking at your photo……should the centre bolt not be in the centre of the wheel?

Yes, I thought it should be when I first fitted it. I guess It would be easier with a smaller wheel & tyre. I think I'm going to have to spend a bit of time grovelling on the floor today and see if I can reposition them.
 
Looks to me as there is a 'set-up' procedure, where each arm has to be set for the tyre diameter. Following that it should be straightforward to fit. There are a couple of quite good You tube videos of the process.

Piss about and get it how you like it. Then get a big permanent marker and mark all the legs drawing around them. I use my clamp on two vehicles so I have a set of markings in black, and another set on red. Now setup is easy.

Never thought of YouTube, just watched a couple of videos, omg they look easy. I guess I'll have to mess around with it for a while and get it set up correctly.
 
I gave myself some room when setting the brackets that fit the tyre width. Made positioning of the arms much easier.
