Spray plenty of WD40 on the unbroken one first and let it soak in to make it easier. Wheels and tyres look fab

I'm driving the noisest car known to man so tyre noise isn't really something I've noticed
 . In all honesty they are so much nicer on the tarmac driving wise compared to the old Avon's and noise I can't say I've noticed. Perhaps when u get to 60+ but I rarely sit at that speed. I had someone else in car with me and they didn't notice either. Tbh you are not buying these tyres if you are doing a 1000's of miles a month but I don't have an issue with noise or even notice it over the radio. |

Trying to measure the stop bolt protrusion today, not exactly an easy place to get a accurate measurement. It's around 50mm at the moment , but I could do with working out a way of accurately measuring it before adjusting. I haven't quite wrapped my head around how they work yet either , will wait for a dry day before I have a go at them.

Adjusted one bolt but 50mm bolts are too short to get the required measurement as per the above table .
