    HINT-Avoid Scratched Rims

    Trap for young players with black rims around where the wheel bolts are......

    Place a piece of soft tape around the wheel brace/socket to ensure the metal doesn't come in contact with the painted section of the rim and possibly scrape the paint.......see attached pics;





    Enjoy!

    Remember their is a plastic tool for removing the bolts, it's on the end of the screwdriver in the boot. Just loosen the nut first.

    Also get the nylon sheathed bits for your torque wrench (or impact wrench )
