So you'll pull of the wheel, send it away, and get the wheel back?

I wanna get my wheel retrimmed too, but don't know how to go about getting it done and still being able to drive.

Borrow a wheel or do it by ESP.

Don't forget to mark the wheel with liquid paper across the top of the spline so you know which was is straight ahead (!)

Yes (or is that just too simple :D )

I suppose you could attach some vice grips to the spline shaft but the police may take offence at that.....

Mine was away for about 5 days. Borrow a car. :mrgreen:

Otherwise, you got two feet and a heartbeat? :P

If work wasn't 60km return, yeah sure :P
I suppose I could get the train, but effort plus.

It's all just an idea in my head at the moment anyway. I'm not in any major rush to do it. Just nice to know the info for when the time comes.

Actually, the reason I want a retrim is because I wanna do it 10AE style, but with dark green suede instead of the blue.

I wanna do my seats like that as well, with some nice dark green suede in the middle, and green stitching. I reckon it'd go alright.
