If you are needing a lead mallet, get at least a 6#er. There are good instruction videos on both using safety wire pliers and installing knock off wheels that are worth seeing. Search CC and they'll come up.
The easiest way I remember which way tightens the spinners is the rotation is towards the back of the car, regardless of which side you're working on.
See you Saturday morning, if you manage to haul yer butt outta da bed.
I was outta bed at 5:20 this morning. I don't think I'll have any trouble on Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing all the cars and people.
