I believe mine are "vertical" (see the picture). Right? In that case, when I open the QR clamp and turn the nut on the oposite side, the gravity should take care of bringing the wheel to it's home spot. I'm sure I can hold the bike in horizontal position with the wheel on the ground while securing the wheel with the QR clamp. Actually, during the previous year I removed and put back the front wheel numerous times w/o the problems I'm having now with the rear wheel.
