Hi All,

I was a passenger in the 'B today, and noticed a "rattle" from the on-side
rear wheel.  It only happened in the period of time between lifting the
accelerator and applying the brakes.  I eventually found I had a lot of
loose spokes.  Is this tricky to fix, and do I need specialist equipment?
What sort of tool would you use?  I imagine a standard shifter would scratch
all the paint off, so would a paint job may also be required.

Luckily the spare seems OK, though it has hit a kerb in the past (DPO, not
DO), I hope it keeps its air!
