Subject: Re: Ace Wheel Discs - Removal
Hi Alastair.
When I first saw my V12, I asked the seller about wheel discs, and he said he hadn't fitted them as they rattled. So I expected to get a set when I bought the car. Annoyed to find they weren't included amongst the spares when I bought it, & even more annoyed to see Ace discs being sold a year or so later, with other V12 spares I might have expected, by him. So...they may rattle. The discs were actually bought by another member local to me, & turned out to be green, so actually from another V12 the guy had turned into a Le Mans rep. I did get the wings with wheelcases, & tucked in the tool-holder, I found a little tool. It has two prongs & fits over the valve, so I guess you'll find a small circular nut with 2 holes in it that this would engage in, to unscrew it & therefore release the valve extension from the disc.
Hope that helps!
