Huw Pugh Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Give it a good thump on the outer edge of the wheel then again on the opposite side and alternate. It should work it's way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yep, rubber mallet and axle stands. I actually took my Dune into the MV workshop at work to get the BBS RWs off last year. Cost me a packet of biscuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
