i can't get my wheels off

[1eight2]

This post is going to make me sound like a r****d but i can't get the wheels off my 182.

Should there be something in the toolkit to remove the screws in the centre disc? (the one with the Renault logo on) I've tried three different sets of allen keys but they are very slightly too small and just turn inside the screw heads.

Yep you should have a plastic tool that fits the anti theft bolt on the cap. I didn't get one with my current clio but had one with the previous one was under the plastic former in the locking nut box, just went back to the dealers and explained and they gave me one.

that plastic cap pulls off mate (there's a tiny hole that you put the hook in and its pulls off!)

Oh there the 182 wheels, I was thinking they were the same as the dynamique/172 alloys.

Odds on the next post is "i've got the cap off and all the wheelbolts out but the wheels are stuck on" I had to beat the f**k out of mine to get them off when i fitted my coilovers the other week.

Steel/iron & ally dont mix. They react and corrode together. It's a common problem and the solution is smearing grease on there before you mate the wheel back to the hub.
