Requirements:
• Allen key 5 mm
• Open-end spanner 17 mm
• Repair kit for inner tubes or an new inner tube.
• Talcum powder
Remove the front wheel
• Jack the vehicle up and place a block of
wood underneath it to prop it up.
• Use the Allen key to remove the fillister
head screws (1, inner and outer), using the
open-end spanner at the same time to
immobilise the axle counter nut (2, on the

Re-assembly is done in reverse order. Make sure that the wheel is put back on the same side it
was on, and that it runs in the same direction it did before it was removed.
