If, with the aid of the Book o' Lies, you still can't figure it out - then perhaps you ought to be going for the point'n'pay alternative.

Brakes are important.

If they're owt like mine, have a lumphammer and an anglegrinder handy...

With a fuckoff large hammer if mine was typical of P-reg Mondys. They were a prize pain to get off the hubs.

Apart from that the Haynes Book is spot on, there just need to add four skinned kunckles to the spanner rating.

As Tony said earlier, if they don't come off after a few wallops with a hammer, its best to go straight for the angle grinder and cut them off. It makes it so much easier.

I had to beat them with the hammer until the disc broke off the mounting "bell" (the centre bit where the wheel bolts go through)then cut the "bell" in half with the angle-grinder, then finish off with a hammer and cold-chisel. Rather tiring ;) I think though, that when it's time to change 'em again, the amount of coppaslip I re-assembled them with should help matters :)
