| Well, this morning I was very unsure of myself about removing the wheels from my Swing. I decided to jump in, and 30 minutes later, the wheels were off. Rear wheel is a piece of cake when using Leroy Beal's instructions, and the front was a snap using a thread on the Silverwing.org site. Took the wheels and the new Diablo's to my local Honda dealer, and 1 hr. and $70 later, I walked out of the shop. Took me another 30 minutes to re-install the wheels, and now I'm good to go. If I can do it, most anybody can do it. Haven't got to try the new shoes out yet due to the colder than crap weather, but they look good. I used the jack from my car and a piece of board to raise the front. I got 8600 miles out of the OEM Bridgestones. The back was almost slick, but the front had a little more wear on it. I decided to replace both tho, so they would match up.

Thanks again.
