For the recored, I am not trying this through choice.
I cannot physically change the tyres until Wednesday.
I was just wondering in the mean time as the car feels quite grippy.

Ok I have been trying to work on this all night...
The bolt that is a fair way into the hub is sticking out by about 3/4 inch the other side of the hub.
What do I need to undo to be able to access the back of the hub?
Thanks
Sam
You will get used to it I promise.
The polo is awful to drive so it can't be any worse than that.
Compared to the polo as well the clio will be lighter when the bits start to fall off ;)

Ok the good news is I got the one out using a slightly modified version of Fred's method.

A punch? what does one of those look like and where would I go about getting one? You mean hit the punch with the hammer yeah? I am confused :s

Happy days :):):):):):)
Yeah but where do I get these drill bits?
Hammer and punch... please explain Fred...
I am trying to setup imageshack but I am having difficulties right now
Sam
I am going to get some pics up right now.
One is sticking out by 0.5cm and the other is in the hub by about 1cm.
This reverse drilling thing... How do I do this?
Thanks
Sam
Hello guys,
I purchased my car last saturday and I was told about a missing bolts as it had been sheared off. The passenger side front wheel was only being held on by three bolts. I was going to get it sorted this morning but unfortunately I was unable to meet up with clioruss who had the...
