glrnet Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 You need to remove it (it's on the rear hubs) if you are fitting spacers, if it interferes with the new wheels just remove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Haven't touched a drop, it's a long time since I took them off, and I stand humbly corrected. They are on the fronts Dave, I'd rather be working than sitting in this hotel room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano190485 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 cheers it must be on the front as ive done the rear and there was nothing there. got a hitch though as i want to use the wheel nuts off my rays. they fit in and i can do them up finger tight but the wratchet i got with the car wont fit in the holes of my new wheels does this mean i will need to get smaller nuts or what? also is it a 12mm wratchet i need to take the pins off the front?

Ebized Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The idea that this is to stop the rear wheels being fitted to the front hubs is poppycock IMO. The rear (OEM) wheels have sufficient space between each spoke to allow fitment - in the same way as the front wheels (I found that out on the 370). That bolt, I believe, is more to do with extracting the disc off the hub carrier. If you take the little sleeve out that fits beteeen the bolthead and the hub then screw that bolt all the way in it will separate the disc from the carrier. Whatever, if fitting the spacers just remove the bolt/spacer as it otherwise serves no useful purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
