There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Is removing front wheel can be done by yourself or dealer only? need to fix the rims.

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.

I know you know Spyders, so I'm pretty sure the 11/16 ths was a Typo …… You meant 13/16ths - right :clap: ……….. and it doesn't need to a deep socket ….. at least my lug nuts don't .............. good luck …… Mike

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 ....:thumbup:

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.
