The invention claimed is: 1. A device for changing the vehicular component on a first vehicle, the device including: a frame for releasably receiving the vehicular component; a mounting member operably coupled to the frame for allowing the device to be mounted to a second vehicle such that the second vehicle can position the device in a component changing position between coaxial axles of the first vehicle; and, a first actuator which when actuated moves the frame, whilst in the component changing position, relative to the mounting member and in a direction substantially parallel with the coaxial axles so as to move the frame between a first position and a second position to thereby mount the vehicular component on the first vehicle or receive the vehicular component from the first vehicle. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device includes a support structure which is operably connected to the frame for supporting the frame. 3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the support structure is operably coupled to the mounting member via a movable plate, wherein actuation of the first actuator causes the movable plate to move relative to the mounting member, causing the support structure supporting the frame to move between the first position and second position. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the device includes a second actuator which is coupled between the movable plate and the support structure, wherein actuation of the second actuator causes the support structure supporting the frame to rotate about an axis of the movable plate, wherein the axis which the support structure supporting the frame rotates is orthogonal to a substrate surface supporting the device. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein at least one of the first actuator and the second actuator, are a piston and cylinder arrangement. 6. The device according to claim 3, wherein the device includes at least one extension actuator provided between the support structure and the moveable plate, wherein actuation of the at least one extension actuator causes the support structure and frame to extend away from the moveable plate or move toward the moveable plate. 7. The device according to claim 3, wherein a first end of the first actuator is coupled to the mounting member and a second end of the first actuator is coupled to the movable plate, wherein the movable plate slidingly moves between opposing ends of the mounting member during actuation of the first actuator. 8. The device according to claim 2, wherein the device includes an elevation actuator operably connected between the support structure and the frame, wherein actuation of the elevation actuator adjusts an elevation of the frame relative to a support surface. 9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the elevation actuator is a piston and cylinder arrangement. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the flame is coupled to legs of the support structure via slidable members, wherein at least one of the slidable members is coupled to the respective leg of the support structure by the elevation actuator to enable the elevation of the frame to be adjusted via actuation of the elevation actuator. 11. The device according to claim 8, wherein the extension actuator is a piston and cylinder arrangement. 12. The device according to claim 2, wherein support structure is elongate to facilitate the positioning of the device between the coaxial axles. 13. The device according to claim 2, wherein the support structure includes at least one support wheel to allow movement of the device in multiple directions over a substrate surface. 14. The device according to claim 1 wherein the frame includes one or more support members which support the vehicular component within the frame, wherein at least some of the one or more support members include one or more rollers, wherein the one or more rollers facilitate rotation of the vehicular component within the frame. 15. The device according to claim 14, wherein the one or more rollers includes one or more support rollers which the vehicular component rests upon within the frame, and one or more retainment rollers which clamp against a portion of the vehicular component to urge the vehicular component against the support rollers to thereby facilitate retainment of the vehicular component within the frame. 16. The device according to claim 15, wherein the vehicular component is a wheel, wherein the one or more retainment rollers clamp against a ground engaging portion of the wheel to facilitate retainment of the wheel within the frame. 17. The device according to claim 15, wherein the device includes a retainment roller actuator, wherein actuation of the actuator causes the one or more retainment rollers to move between a disengaged position, wherein the vehicular component supported within the frame is able to be removed from the frame, and a retainment position, wherein the vehicular component is retained within the frame. 18. The device according to claim 15, wherein the device includes a plurality of retainment rollers and a plurality of support rollers, wherein at least two of the retainment rollers are diametrically opposed relative to a respective two of the support rollers. 19. The device according to claim 14, wherein the device includes a roller actuator, wherein actuation of the roller actuator causes the one or more rollers to rotate thereby facilitating rotational movement of the vehicular component within the frame. 20. The device according to claim 1, wherein the frame include a profile which substantially corresponds to profile of the vehicular component to facilitate retainment of the vehicular component within the frame. 21. The device according to claim 20, wherein the frame includes a profile which substantially corresponds to a wheel. 22. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device includes the a removeable cradle which when is, wherein the cradle is able to engage a vehicular component within the frame. 23. The device according to claim 22, wherein the cradle is engageable with an engine. 24. The device according to claim 22, wherein the cradle includes cradle engagement members which engage the cradle within the frame. 25. The device according to claim 24, wherein the device includes cradle fasteners to fasten the vehicular component to the cradle. 26. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device includes a locking member which is operably connected to the frame, wherein the locking member moves between an unclamped position, wherein the vehicular component is able to be released from the frame, and a clamped position facilitating retainment of the vehicular component within the frame. 27. The device according to claim 26, wherein the locking member in the retainment position causes the locking member to engage with a portion of the vehicular component to restrict rotation of the vehicular component within the frame. 28. The device according to claim 26, wherein the device includes a locking member actuator, wherein actuation of the locking member actuator causes the locking member to move between the unclamped position and the clamped position. 29. The device according to claim 2, wherein the device includes at least one rotational actuator operably connected between the support structure and the frame, wherein actuator of the at least one rotational actuator causes rotational movement of the frame relative to the support structure. 30. The device according to claim 29, wherein the rotational actuator is a piston and cylinder arrangement. 31. The device according to claim 1, wherein when the first actuator is actuated to move the frame to the first position, the frame is located distally from one of the coaxial axles of the first vehicle, and when the first actuator is actuated to move the frame to the second position, the frame is located adjacently the one of the coaxial axles of the first vehicle. 32. The device according to claim 1, wherein the frame is elongate such as to facilitate the frame being positioned between the coaxial axles of the first vehicle. 33.
