I'm pushing it slowly, so if it's not perfectly aligned, I can always lower the bike right back down on its kickstand. But once I see the spool on the right sitting in its carrier, I can let go of the bike and push the rear stand down and the bike's safely on the stand.

yep... and that takes a bit of practice, but once you get it down, it is doable w/o the 2x4.
I'm such a noob that I
always use the 2x4.
