Why does changing 4 wheels have to be a hassle?
Sooty:
The bolt you need is in the faint red circle.
On the front of the swivel housing.

--- Quote from: "muddyjames" ---its the near side wheel that is catching the worst and I have been undoing the off side wheel. I am not sure where the locking nut is. All I can see is a bit of metal with like a welded on nut and the metal seems to hold something vital for the brakes!
I know I am usless at mechanics and have been told it as well but I still like to give it a go.
Found out a few days ago that the series 3 i had and sold the brakes went completly on the new owner the other day and nearly had an accident. thats a description of how bad I am. The chap who bought seemed ok about it and he is a nice guy. We have kept in touch.

It's all an excuse for me to buy new tools.. you see james reads the manual, can't find it, then asks me a million questions then gives up then comes and sees me.. I of course have to get my biggest or most expensive tool out - or buy a new one - then do the job in about 2 minutes, everyones happy and I have an excuse..
Talking of which James, when do you want your snorkle doing, I'm sure I have to buy an air saw for that - the nibbler/ angle grinder/jigsaw just wont do :D
I'll hopefully have my new head sorted for my engine by the end of the week so I'll be a bit busy rebuilding it over the next few weeks :-)

muddyjames:
I was going to suggest this weekend but obviously not if your rebuilding your head.
Could I borrow your hex sockets to undo my side steps please as my socket slipped off the other day straight into my face and hurt!
I am glad I can be of use to some one if it gives you an excuse to buy new tools!!!!
I have a land rover manual on cd now so I can look in the warm for what I want and then give up and come to you!
Thrasher:
James .... there is a possibility your bushes are worn on the radius arms. Check these too....

Yup, no problem, which size(s) do you want, and do you want a 2 foot bar as well, or just perhaps an angle grinder?

any reason you can't read the haines manual indoors? I always like the paper ones as they are more tollerant to water splashes whilst reading in the bath compared to the laptop!
I was going to say, don't cut your end caps down and have my pre-cut ones which are living behind the shed - too late now though!
