PostSubject: Put on new set of Diablos   Sat Dec 05, 2009 3:47 pm

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.

Very many thanks for the links one and all.

Wheel removal has to one of the most common tasks.

Thanks again.
