tooley Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 spent all day saturday trying to find a garage that would just swap my wheels over for my new ones. fianlly got one only to find 2 hours later when i went back the allen/hex bolt for undoing them was just turning on some of the nuts so they hadnt bothered trying. so i take it to my normal guy this morning who manages to take them off easy enough only to find the studs are not quite long enough for the new wheels once on the go on but only by a few threads so now im having to wait a few days until i get longer studs AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 With all the time and effort spent trying to find a garage, why didn't you swap them yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I changed all my wheels by myself + a friend, it's not that big a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 A little shocking that the garage let you leave with the wheels held on by only a few threads. Could have been very nasty indeed. Sounds like you might need to get some basic tools. You would not want a flatty at the side of the road with no way of getting home etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That's a shame mate. It's awful when things go tits up like that. especially when it should originally be an easy job. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
