Stuck on

Looked at the Golf flat tyre and pumped it up - expecting to dash to the garage with it.
I could hear the air escaping though so thought that I'd better swap it for the space saver to be safe.

First the caps on the nuts had to be removed, then the wheel nut brace was too small to get much pressure on the nuts - so used another bar.


Nuts off and of course the bloody wheel was locked onto the hub - so I used a wooden block and club hammer on it for 10 mins going round the rim slowly until it popped off.

Then I fitted the spare space saver just to sit on while it was off being repaired.

I then refitted the wheel. 120 newton meters on the Torque Wrench. 

Screw looked familiar - off something modern ?


Finished off with an Aero run in the evening.
