Selli160 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I’ve had these wheels for a while, and I think it’s time to give them a freshen up. I want to fully disassemble each wheel to clean and possibly paint. They are 3-piece wheels so the whole thing is held together by about 40 nuts and bolts all the way around the wheel. The thing is that it is impossible to get a Allen key to fit into the bolt because of its location (see pics). There are nuts on the other side of the wheel and I can get a spanner on them and break them loose. But as soon as the broken loose it just starts to spin, you have to have a Allen key on the other side to stop the bolt from just spinning. obviously, there’s some way to get them apart but I feel like I’m just missing something.

GTSBoy Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Surely there's room to poke a ball end hex key in there? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480690-advan-sienna-ii-disassembly/#findComment-7934900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selli160 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Yeh i thought so too even with the ball end the lip just over hangs too much to get even close to the bolt head.

GTSBoy Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 They must have had a special tool then. An Allen key with a nice curve/bend in it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480690-advan-sienna-ii-disassembly/#findComment-7934915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It screams of a specialised tool. Go to a machine shop, they should be able to make one for you.
