Had a great plan to refurbish wheels by buying ford ones form sierra etc swop them over, put car back in garage and send proper ones away, slight prob..................... fronts fit no prob, backs fit but dont clear brake calipers.......................... so car now has two front sierra wheels and backs on axle stands..................... damm damm

[Barreti]

Unbolt caliper
Tie caliper to wishbone
Fit wheel
Jack up
Remove axle stands
Lower to floor

Job Done

no all wheels are off and going away monday............ just a pain doing it in garage with no room etc......... it can stay on axle stands for 2 weeks

Reverse wheels on the studs(inside out)but push it around like this only dont drive it just in case,at least the car will be pushable,or probably better do do Ians way,whichever dont drive.

Thats a damm good idea, be a lot easier to get it out the garage that way, thanks

Update................... good in theory and if they had been steel wheels all would have been fine, but they are quite deep where the nuts and the studs arent long enough, so it stays on axle stands, thanks anyway

Bonus of it all is..............your car will remind the neighbours of that 80s Panama advert with the Ford Anglia fitted with the Carlos Fantango wheels(if your old enough to remember)have a look here it will tickle you http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nqqZ28m8uCo sorry about that but just the thought of your Chim like this makes me giggle even though i was genuinely trying to give you some helpful advice

Jame Agger has got a stack of original space savers, as you are both in Leicestershire may be worth seeing if you could borrow two for a week?
