Do I need to remove the wheel to get the old ones off.
Got some new shiny ones on order - and not having a jack etc - could make things interesting.

Grab hold and pull hard and they will pull off.

You also need to remove the passenger seat and six of the spark plugs wink

You dont need to remove the wheel, just reach into the footwell and push it out from there. wink

Is that the footwell or the wheelwell, or some other type of well?

Funny you say that. This topic has only recently been discussed...

yes you will and the best way to remove the centre caps is with the end of a mallet handle (or stick).

Don't forget you will also need to replace the brakes as the wheels will no longer fit after such a major change.

And the gear box of course. Don't forget the gear box.
