Anyone use a four post lift to remove wheels?

I have a four post lift in my garage that allows me to have more cars inside.

I am able to change oil using the four post lift.

But I want to change brake fluid- and that requires removing the wheels (on most cars).

Has anyone removed the wheels using a four post lift? My lift does have a rolling jack tray. See pictures.

I have a Bendpak 4-post lift and initially used a rolling jack tray like that with bottle jacks. It 'worked' but was awkward. I since installed a hydraulic rolling bridge jack and would highly recommend it. You can see it, along with lots of 4-post lift tips, in this thread....

Thanks, Tom. I'll try the bottle jack approach for now. Your rolling bridge jack is elegant- and appears to be the perfect solution.
