Does anybody know the best way to remove the bolts from around the rim on a MR5? I need to refurb my wheels and I don't want to ruin the bolts by trying a tool which looks as though it might work. Is there a special tool that is available?

Most wheel repair shops should have the tool you need.

 

it's a plain old 8mm 12 point socket.
Been there, done that.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

What's the torque setting for the bolts? Should I use Loctite when assembling again?

Tips/tricks please?

Thanks!

 

please use red lock tight on the rims!!!! and then twork them to about 8-14 ft-lbs.. it doesent take too much to turn a bolt on that soft lip...

 

the bolts on my rims are SUPER TIGHT
so i havent took them out
but before i bought it a place put 1 certain bolt in too tight
punctured a hole in one of the rims and its leaking air
so i gotta tube in it
