Locking wheel nut removal and new Maxxis tyres on a Peugeot in Church Stretton

I went out to a customer in Market Drayton, who needed two tyres changing and fitting on his Peugeot, he also needed a locking wheel nut removal, as the customer had lost his lock nut removal tool.

One of the tyres that needed changing, the tyre was wearing down to the wire, while the other side had 4mm to 5mm tread remaining. Which made me think the customer had a problem with the tracking (also known as a wheel alignment).

I managed to get the locking wheel nuts off, change and fit two new Maxxis tyres, once this was done I could then check the tracking on the wheels.

It was easy to see from the figures that the car was badly out on the one side, I was able to make adjustments to both sides until I had the car back to the correct settings.

Once I had fitted the new tyres and corrected the wheel alignment, the car was ready to drive and road safety!
