Changing the wheel on a Reliant Robin?

[JoPo1]

How the hell is it done?
Is it bolted on the same as a normal wheel or what is it?
How is it jacked up? Front? Side? Middle?

There's one that's near me and I want the front wheel off it so wondered how it's done before I go fumbling during the night.

Cheers lads!

You could just try and buy one from somewhere, rather than going out at night and presumably stealing it?

Yeah... That's an option but why buy when I can steal?




I'm not actually looking to steal a wheel so calm down Mrs.

[Steffan]

Why would you want to know how to do this.

Are you really sure you want to know?

Calm down? I made a presumption from the way your post was written.

Well don't presume then.

The way it was written? If someone asks how to steal a Reliant Robins front wheel, Does that sound serious?

Come on, You don't come across as an idiot.

But you are starting to.

[snuffle]

I presume you mean the front wheel, if so then it is secured to the car by 4 hexagonal fasteners.

[snuffle]

Also Reliant robins can only be safely jacked from the rear , 180 degrees should be enough

robin reliant's only get flat tyres outside pub's.

A pity the same can't be said for you.

[Nedz]

Get a couple of your mates to pick it up while you do it!

The base of the front hub is strong enough to support the weight of the car. Get under the car with the handbrake on or get someone to put pressure on the brake pedal while the car is up in the air so you can losen the wheel nuts and it's the same as changing any other wheel.

[juleswba]

have you got any spare cricket teams near you.



if you have its easy.

[billzeebub]

you get Boycie and Trigger to hold the front end up and send Rodders inder with a socket set..
