Is removing front wheel can be done by yourself or dealer only? need to fix the rims.
Have any of you guys in here ever remove the 2 front wheels out, if so what would be the proper tools to it? thank you.

I use an 11/16 deep 1/2" socket with eather an impact wrench, or a ratchet. Two jack stands and a ATV lift. In using the 1/2" ratchet I first brake loose the three wheel lugs on each wheel while the Spyder is on the ground then lift the spyder with the ATV jack and then set the spyder down onto the jack stands (placed as close to the ball joints as possible). I then finish removing the lug nuts and lift the wheel off the lugs.
One of the easiest things to do on the Spyder.

Double pedestal jack, lug wrench, jack stands. Have a helper step on the brake, while you loosen the lugnuts.jack up,insert jack stands. Remove wheels.

For sure....
As mentioned above.... I usually loosen the lug nuts on the ground then raise the front end and take the nuts off and remove the wheel. If only one you can do one at a time of lift the whole front end and do both. If the tires you are using are directional they will indicate this with an arrow on the tire you must install them on the correct side. Nothing special is needed ....

Reinstalling you should also have a torque wrench, if I remember correctly I think is 76 ft ls check the manual.

76 ft. lbs. is the midpoint for torque spec. I used a 21mm socket on mine.
