ric Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Hi guys, This will probably be a stupid question ( ) but... Whats this?: Come to trial fit my new wheels, and this little bolt obstructs the wheels from sitting flat (The "Bolt" (or whatever it is) is as long as the wheel bolt studs). The wheel does have indents in the back to allow for things like spacers, however they don't go close enough to the centre of the wheel to allow this bolt to sit in properly. To say its annoying is an understatement I'm going to space the front wheels out anyway, but I'm going to have to buy a spacer big enough to clear this aswell by the looks of things. Cheers in advance! Quote
Stew Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 It's to stop you fitting a rear wheel to the front. Simply remove the bolt and Roberts your fathers brother. Done! Quote
ric Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Cheers guys! How would I go about removing this? Do I have to start taking things apart? It didn't seem to just "unbolt" Thanks, Quote
Chris`I Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Will just unbolt mate, its a simple bolt. May need a friend to put pressure on the brakes while you do it Quote
Stew Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 There is even a tool for removing it in the tool kit. Quote
ric Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Cheers guys, will take the front wheels off again and give it a stab. Cheers! Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 There is even a tool for removing it in the tool kit. Ah! I wondered why the rather random, single spanner was in the boot for. Quote
HaydnH Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 May need a friend to put pressure on the brakes while you do it Or if you're working on your own try a bit of wood or similar that will fit between 2 bolts and rest on the ground to stop the wheel turning, the bolt comes off fairly easy though so you shouldn't have a problem.

ric Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Cheers guys, this is now removed! (Funnily enough, I guess a previous owner must have taken this out at some point and lost it, as instead of a 10mm bolt that the tool kit spanner could remove, it was a 12mm bolt). Either way, its gone now! Just need to decide if i need some spacers before the wheels go on Cheers! Quote
