I want to take my wheels off to give them a good clean.

I am guessing that unlike old cars, the wheel bolts are going to be studs rather than nuts, which I have found to be tricky to get off without banging the discs, and bloody heavy for getting back on.

For Porsches you can get this rods that you screw in to replace a stud or two, and then you can just slide the wheel on/off. Does such a thing exist in the Ferrari world - or maybe they have the same threads?

Cool - I already have the Porsche one and it seems it should fit.

If not I will order one of those.

Yep, I got two. Thought it would make life a lot easier.

Just need time now.
