Ok well I spent two hours last night trying to put my wheels on. I only got one of them on and that was pure luck. I do have spacers so that makes things a little more complicated. So for all you guys out there that take off and put back on your wheels on a regular basis let me know if you have any hints or anything. It could be that it just takes a lot of work and patience but it has got to be easier than it is for me....

 

2 hours O_O

whoa. when tightening the bolts, always tighten the top 1st. and vice versa when taking them off (i.e. - bottom one 1st)

i have spacers too. i just position the spacer and align the wheel to where i can see the hub and rotate the wheel until i can see it then hand tighten the bolts then cross bar all 5. i ono that's my method which shouldnt take more than 20-30 min.

 

thats the thing I cant get the bolts and the spacer to line up with the holes on the brake at the same time. The spacer will never stay stay at the right spot.

 

thread the lub bolts into the spacer while the wheel is off the car.. then you should be able to sit the whole spacer/wheel assembly on the hub just like it was a wheel by itself..

and no offense but I can see why the FMIC install turned out to be so tough.

 

Well I got my other wheel back on in about 8 mins... I have no idea what I did different but it worked so thats good.

 

u need the tool......dunno what its official name...its a threaded rod..about 3-4" long..screws into your car..put it on the top ..then u hang the wheel on that and put the other bolts in...unscrew the rod...and put the last lug in.....takes bout 45 sec. must have for any euro
