         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of positions, the pivoting member securable to the housing at one of the plurality of positions using a securing device and the plurality of openings. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the pin is secured to the housing using a secondary pin. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the pivoting member comprises a hinged portion along a length of the pivoting member that is configured rotate the wire holder about a hinge along a radial axis. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the hinged portion comprises a first securing member of a first elongate member of the pivoting member and a second securing member of a second elongate member of the pivoting member, the first and second securing members selectively coupled with a first pin. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the hinge comprises a second pin such that the first elongate member and the second elongate member are uncoupled from one another when the first and second pins are removed. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the hinged portion comprises a hinge between a first elongate member and a second elongate member, the first and second elongate members secured to the hinge by first and second securing members located opposite one another, the first and second securing members comprising openings for receiving a pin for selectively preventing one of the first and second elongate members from rotating about the hinge. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wire holder is inserted through an elongate member of the pivoting member and secured to the pivoting member using a pin. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the wire holder is freely rotatable about a radial axis parallel to the second end of the pivoting member. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the wire holder comprises a base plate for supporting one or more coils of wire installed on the wire holder. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the base plate comprises an opening that corresponds to an opening in the elongate member such that the base plate is securable to the pivoting member using a pin to prevent rotation of the wire holder. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the base plate comprises a second opening that corresponds to a second opening in the elongate member and wherein the wire holder comprises a second pin for securing one or more coils of wire to the base plate and the elongate member. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , further comprising one or more bearings for controlling a rotation of the wire holder. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the one or more bearings are situated between the base plate and the elongate member. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the one or more bearings are situated between the pin and the elongate member. 
     
     
         19 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a coupling member configured to selectively connect to a vehicle at a first end and comprising a housing at a second end;   a pivoting member configured to selectively connect to the coupling member at the housing and a first end of the pivoting member,   wherein the pivoting member is rotatable about the second end of the coupling member,   wherein the pivoting member further comprises a wire holder for holding a coil of wire at a second end of the pivoting member,   wherein the first end of the pivoting member comprises a sleeve that is configured to sit in a housing on the second end of the coupling member and receive a pin for coupling the pivoting member to the coupling member, and   wherein the pivoting member comprises a hinged portion along a length of the pivoting member that is configured to rotate the wire holder about a hinge along a radial axis.   
     
     
         20 . A method, comprising:
 providing a coupling member configured to selectively connect to a vehicle at a first end;   coupling the coupling member to a vehicle at the first end;   providing a pivoting member configured to selectively connect to the coupling member at a second end of the coupling member and a first end of the pivoting member;   coupling the pivoting member to the coupling member such that the pivoting member is rotatable about the second end of the coupling member;   providing a wire holder for holding a coil of wire at a second end of the pivoting member; and   coupling the wire holder to the second end of the pivoting member.
