CHRIST, ive just finished doing them and i started at 11:15 !!

I never thought i would have to take my alloy off to change them

I got a screw stuck and just as i went to get it the screw fell into this little hold and dropped right behind my arch sooooooooo out came the jack, axel blah blah off came the wheel, off came the plastic arch and then dah dah the little bast**d off a screw dropped out !!

Then i couldn't line the blimming bonnet up, not easy on your own and they are pretty heavy resting on your neck

Anyway all done now
