13.10.2005: Wheel removed
With the car still on the ground, remove the centre cap from the wheel and loosen the hub nut using a 32 mm socket (a 1¼" will do) and a breaker bar. Loosen the wheel bolts while you're at it too (17 mm socket). Raise the car and remove the wheel.

  • 32 mm (1¼") socket: hub centre nut;
  • 17 mm socket: wheel bolts;
