Haha I must've been doing pretty good! I unbolted 30 in an hour HAHA. Maybe some WD40? Work those muscles Steve.

[Golf Houso]

I don't have clear tailights

Its taken my like 2 hours to get 15 bolts out

wasn't reffering to you don't worry. Yeah like ray said, grease the wheels up, the bolts are probably stuck in there due to age and muck. Have another go at it!

[rayray086]

Oh yeah, not just age and muck - they've had a locking compound added to them before their screwed in!

Heating with heat gun is also supposed to help

[Golf Loon]

Put it in the oven on a low heat for an hour, or in the blazing sun.

You need to soften the rubber sealant efore you can separate the two pieces.

[TassieGTi]

Use a heat gun to soften up the sealant and then a razor blade to cut around the outer rim through the sealant. Then use a rubber mallet. Don’t be afraid to give them a real good whack and once they start to budge, you’ll be able to get them off

[DubSteve]

four wheels apart facures need to come off have heated goten rid of sealant and wacked with mallet till blue in the face will try oven treatment but what about the paint? william

[DubSteve]

Small Update

On the weekend I attempted to take apart the wheels, and failed misserably lol. On Sunday William came along and gave me a hand with taking the wheels apart we managed to get 3 of the 4 wheels apart the 4th I have decided to leave the wheel together so I can test it out on the car to see what it will look like (and also cause I am lazy ) Pics to follow.

Also I have hit a small wall and can't decide what to do I have been talking about a Samco Hose kit (Red) to be fitted to the car, and now I am having second thoughts about this as I can't decide whether or not I want to go with it

The coloue scheme is what I would be thinking is Red hose kit with red leads and also red lettering of the word SCHRICK.

However at the moment I just am having second thoughts and thinking of going all black! Which means keeping the stock hoses as they are black and powdercoating the schrick, throttle body and the lower inlet manifold gloss black to keep with the rest of the engine bay and then painting the letters SCHRICK in white! The car ha a theme of black and white but I can't seem to think of which path to take

Thats why I would like to ask the members of this forum there thoughts, anyone
