Sharp pointy tools needed here, to flick the middle out. Then undo the screw.

Ut Escort Cosworth st road car and Wrc road car.

I found the Best way is it to drop the bottom off.

There's 4 screws.
Posted Image

Once off the back wheels are on a bar, just twist and pull.

Posted Image

The fronts are quite britle and snap really easy.
I find it better to remove the two screws holding the axle on.
Then pulling the wheels off.

undo screws to drop the rear axel then using a pair of wire cutters grip the axel just behind the hub (brake disc)and then firmly sqeese cutters to pry the hub away from the metal shaft then the wheel will come off but the hub is bonded to wheels so the spokes will snap off if you try to split them just like mine did :LAUGHING: didnt mater to me as i was changing them anyway.Posted Image

thats the method i use, you can get the hubs away from the wheels by carefully squeezing all the way around with some wide nose pliers and pulling, be careful.

also older autoart cars have plastic spindles not metal, so be extra careful as its easy to cut through with the snippers


Lala, if you arent using the original tires fancy donating them to a good home? :wink:

When the wheels are removed, as above, this is what your left with. To fit wider wheels, I simply file this down or cut it off completely.

got tyre off. then ther are severial kinks in the wheel
then in the middle of the kink there is the seal.
is it that seal or is a hidden seal somewhere and is it hard to remove the wheels ccus i still cant get them
f****in wheels off there pissing me off
Right mate i have just removed a wheel from my Morris in les than a minute lol !

heres how i did it firt i removed the tyre to see what was underneath and theres no join there so you can leave the tyres on
what you have to do is insert a craft knife between the large flange / brake backplate and the wheel centre and twist the craft knife blade as you pull and turn the wheel and it popps straight off - what your left with is a sleeve on the stub axle with a screw in the end remove the screw and the sleeve
heres a couple of pics for you

solido use a pic system on there disco same on the jeep and maybe a few others so they can be trick to remove so best thing to do is as above but if your looking to put the wheels back on you may have a bit of trouble.
