Abstract
A manual steering tool is configured for selective attachment to a wheel of a vehicle. The tool includes a hub, a coupler for securing the hub to the vehicle, and an elongate arm extending from the hub away from the vehicle. Application of force on elongate arm at a position away from the vehicle causes the wheel and an axis of rotation of the wheel to pivot relative to the vehicle, thereby steering the wheel and the vehicle.
