I'm totally and completely not understanding how this adapter works. Do you mean you jack up the central jack point in the front, with this adapter, and change the front wheels, and then lower it and do that in the back?

I insert the adapter just like the piece of wood you can see in this pic (borrowed from another thread), place the stands sideways like the red ones, and lower onto the stands.
