dosnt that mean the car will be resting on the studs not the centre???

cheers or that, didnt know how spacer work, thought centre bore was the same size...or larger than the part of the axle and if it was smaller then they would need a bit of it machined out...i think if i remember rightly, its 56.6mm centre bore and micras need 59.1 so they would need 1.5mm all...

just sprayed it now...looks alright :D and didnt want to remove it as the manifold is covered in rust and when i was wire brushing it, it was getting smaller and smaller becaus of all the rust coming off it :D is it ok to spray the manifold in that case???

friend of mine is about to buy an R reg micra, and has also got a set of corsa sxi alloys of his old car. what he wants to know is...will they fit?? pcd is 4x100 <- they will fit offset ?? <-dosnt know centre bore ??.? <- also dosnt know. cheers

yep...gave up and sprayed it how it is, just covered everything in newspaper and went ahead...looks ok at the moment, will be able to tell in an hour probably :D

no good, tried mole grips and they wouldn't hold, they would grip to start and as soon as i turned, they would just fall off hacksaw is a no go, as the support bracket is in the way, and i cant get the saw to cut across the face of it. heating is also a no go as i would probably melt something...

but removing it is the problem, cant get the nut off to get the support bracket and heat shield off in the first place....that and my manifold is totally rusty and looks awful :(

yeah gonna try hacksawing a groove and just trying to turn it with a screwdriver, if that dont work, hacksaw the bevelled bits off...or at least down some more and then use a tight fitting socket and brute force :D

ganna try using a hacksaw and cut a groove in it so i can get a flat head screwdriver in it if that doesnt work then i may still use the hacksaw and try to cut the bevelled bit off and try again with mole grippers/pliers...only prob with grips at the moment is that i cant get a good grip as...

ahh i suppose so...yeah i was over ther in june just gone and i managed to hire out a maloo for a week and it cost me like £200 + fuel...was awesome soo much quicker than my micra :D and fixing car wise, its just hit whatever isnt working with the biggest hammer i can find :D only lokin, i...

yeah i know skodas are good, learnt to drive in 2 and they're owned by VW now. we do have a garage, but the car wont fit in it as my dad has all his #### in there, may just say it is being locked in there overnight and just leave it on the front. i am an engineering student so i maybe able to...

tried them and couldnt get a good grip. will give them another try tomorrow and see if i can get it off :D

trying to remove the heat shield (or as it is known in haynes hot air shroud) from the exhaust manifold so i can sand it down and paint it as it is quite rusty/blemished, but i cant get the nut which attaches the support bracket to the shield (and then the manifold i think off) as the nut is a...

they are either halfords ripspeed 15" from a neighbout who wrote off his corsa, or i have a 13" nissan set which i may put on if i dont like the 15s as it isnt lowered so may look too high
