Wheel removal tools

[scorcher]

Yep, going to replace the original rims on the R32 before they get kerbed.

As it's got no spare, I don't have a jack or wheel wrench - would it be best to get a trolley jack and a torque wrench for the easiest and safest way to swap all four wheels?

Any other tools or tips suggested?

Ta!

yep, just need a trolley jack, wheel brace, and the wheel lock key if u have any locking wheel bolts.

Jack it up just infront/behind the wheel, where there is a small flat base, should be little rubber piece (to prevent scratching). Loosen the bolts whilst the car is still on the ground before hand though. Torque would be good to tighten the bolts back up.. 80-100lbs of pressure should be strong enough. Or just tighten it until ya feel its tight, then stand on it for a quarter turn.. :)

Hi Mitsu - that would be great!

Your lights came this morning too, so fancy popping round some time soon to give me a hand :D

Thanks for the advice too Tin, and Fas - just didn't fancy popping the filthy wheels back in the car (but might have to if I can't get the old ones off :rolleyes: )

You won't have any problems getting the old ones off. I have changed wheels plenty of times without any issues. You'll be fine mate. Bit of a shame though as you haven't had the CHs on that long :( .
