Once the tyre is between the hub and mag housing turn the wheel into position, fit nuts, refit the shock, job done . Hope this makes sense . This method requires no mods and works with large tyres or standard .

I favoured taking the hub and wheel off as one unit, rather than scratching my paint.

And that's exactly what I had to do on my S2TV also. Had a puncture two weeks ago and was able to change the rear wheel with the spare in about ten minutes by unbolting the bracket, changing the wheel and then bolting the bracket back on. Very simple mod and is hardly noticeable with the panel off and, of course, unnoticeable with the panel on.
