Well i've picked up a momo wheel for the AU, bought a set of torx bits to do the job and realised Ford had to be special and use a five sided pattern over the readily available six sided pattern.
Any ideas where to buy the five sided torx bits? Cheers Adrian.

A bunch of people on here have gotten them off ebay. You can buy a set of 11 I think it is for ~$50, which is what I did. Ford sell them individually for about $60 each.

most speciality tool places have them it is called a 30 IPR torx plus bit. You won't find them at supercrap ripco or other normal auto parts places

Don't worry about the wheel puller just a gentle whack with a hammer or pull it off, just make sure you don't pull the wheel into your face, haha.

Done worry ... mine too takes to get off ... with a rubber mallet and a wheel puller ... and a lot of forceful wriggling. Took just over an hour to 2 it with 2 people.
Some vehicles are easier than others ... mine was right pain.

Hmmmmm......well the biggest problem is that my hands can't handle 15-20 minutes of constant wriggling..........they don't even last 2 minutes.
I'll book it in next week.

Ok just an update....The wheel is on!!!!!
I never found the time to book it in somewhere to get it done. So today I had another go, fitted the wheel puller, gave the wheel a few taps with a hammer from the rear. Then 2-3 wriggles & off it came. The momo is so comfy and gives you something chunky to grab onto. If anyone has been thinking about getting one I say don't wait, there are still some left on ebay. Thanks for all your help. Cheers, Adrian.

Just goes to show how crap the standard wheel really is.
Well done on getting the new one on ... much better to drive with the Momo.
