Yes quite easy to do. Just make sure you have a ramp for the jocky wheel. Put a strop on the tow head. Make sure it is well secure in the trailer. Drop the jocky wheel, because you will bend it, as you ratchet down. Put a block of wood under the hitch as well.

Yes, when the wheel (nearly) fell off my 150 I winched it on, no issues.

Thanks everyone. What weight rated winch would you recommend?
