How to replace a wheel

[Ken Lion]

Is this alignment tool (14mm 1.5mm thread) the correct size for the 75?

Using hot and cold water and lots of Swarfega, the finger was finally free. As they say, it could have been worse!

Which reminds me of my brother in law who lived in Thanet and used to nip over to Calais when he fancied a change of car, often VW Beetles, always cheap and of course LHD. When carrying his son he used to drive around with a spare steering wheel clutched to his chest. Now and again the son used to wind down the window and wave the steering wheel at passers by just to see the look of horror on their faces.

Thank you for the first belly laugh of the day.

All you need to align the hole in the wheel with the alignment tool is the wheel nut spanner that is in the tool kit. Put wheel by hub, with the alignment tool already in the hub. Place the wheel nut spanner, plastic end, under the wheel and lift it onto the alignment stud. Easy peasy.
