I just got a GSI wheel from Adam-D (packaged like it was made of glass, and arrived very quickly!) but I cant for the life of me get the fuckin thing off (my old 2 spoke wheel)

Iv taken the big nut off in the middle and that washer that's behind it but Im not sure if there's anything else i need to do.

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to do this? or is it a case of take the middle nut off and pull like a son of a bitch?

Cheers

Em dont take the nut off fully the wheel is under a spring so when it does pop off you may get a smack on the face Leave the nut on a few threads Then its just a case off pulling and battering it with your hands it will go just sumtimes takes time

If all else fails you can buy a tool for removing them but its not the cheapest

Try using a flywheel puller.

Clarke do one which has about 4 different configurations. There handy for a lot of other bits and pieces aswell

Its alright, I got it off. I just put my feet on the dash and put my seat all the way back and pulled like a mad bastard. It came off within the first few seconds
