With heavy wheels, they're all a PITA.
My last car, with bolts, had a tool in the kit which screwed into a bolt hole. A sort of longer bolt with no head. That made fitting the wheel a bit easier.
Shifting your weight will, at best, get you a very gentle sweeping turn, totally inadequate for navigation. OTOH, I doubt that you were serious.
No. If you want to turn right, you push the right handlebar.
I've ridden motorcycles and driven in cars with people who do as you described, but there's no reason to turn in the opposite direction before making your actual turn. I'd make an exception if you're pulling a trailer and you want to make sure it doesn't clip the curb.
<by countersteering!>
Depending on tire profile and other conditions, the bike may want to continue to fall into the turn or it may want to stand up. In either case, it's up to the rider to maintain the proper line.

Does pushing on the left side of the lever work OK?

AFAIK, I haven't either. I have often heard of young people not knowint it.
BTW, Analog clocks do seem to be an inferior way of telling time, when you can look at a digital clock and immediately see what time it is (you should already recognize numerals). While I do understand that analog clocks were easier to make when electronics didn't exist or meant vacuum tubes, but that isn't a problem anymore.
Not for my 1998 Chevrolet. The first tire I changed was on the left side. When a tire on the right needed changing, then I discovered the reverse threads.
However, I'll apologize for assuming it's universal.

Was 4 IV or IIII?

I won't be filling up this month either. Still have about 90% left.
I see you haven't a clue
I see you have never ridden a cycle
Jim Joyce presented the following explanation :
Indeed, replacing worn out tires with the original replacements makes the handling different. You don't notice it slowly changing as they wear down, but the new one's difference in un-worn shape suddenly make it noticeable.
Why not, you bucktoothed asswhole?
Bullshit. Most people can look at a clockwise arrow on the side of the drill and retain that clockwise image in their mind when looking at the workpiece.
That's rubbish, everyone still understands the rotational direction of a clock.
Nope, they're faster to look at, especially the 3 foot diameter one.
Too slow, you have to ask for the time then wait for the answer and listen to it. I can just glance to my right and immediately know it's half 8.
Can't afford a wristwatch? I can leave my phone in my pocket and get the time off my watch.
You have a clock built into your head?!
I thought you had a good general idea of the time....
I don't see the inferiority at all. If a digital clock is too far away I cannot make out the numbers , rendering it useless. With analog, all I need is the position of the hands. No numbers needed. Sure, I could not be sure if it 10:22 or 10:23 but close enough 99.99% of the time.
Yes, I've knowbmn couple of young people that do no know how to tell time on an analog clock.
Since you brought it up. I was always taught IV but just looked this up:
Is 4 IIII or IV? Originally, it was common to use IIII to represent four, because IV represented the Roman god Jupiter, whose Latin name, IVPPITER, begins with IV. The subtractive notation (which uses IV instead of IIII) has become the standard notation only in modern times.
What annoys me is some things are the opposite way round.
Volume control on your stereo - clockwise for more sound. The tap in your sink - anti-clockwise for more water.
There seems to be some weird custom to make electrical things go faster to the right and fluid or gas go faster to the left.
As is usual for the thicko bisexual Canadian that refuses to post to the UK group, which I've re-added, you misunderstand. Those sort of dials are moving the needle to the right, not rotating.
This is a rotational dial:
Electrons spin clockwise.
