The wheeler doesn't have it built in I am fairly sure. I have done it by eye, it takes tightening and loosening a few times to get it right. One of the alignment tools is best.

Re: what do you use to tighten barrel
since my receiver wrench indexes off the front mounting hole, i eye ball the flat bottom of the lug against the flat bottom of the wrench. i have an idea for an adjustable lug alignment tool that i plan on making very soon.

Or use an inline wrench and a Badger lug alignment tool.
