BFH....
Pop off the center cover. You will find the hold down nut and lock washer.
Undo these. Then pray, and recite the MG mantra. This will be easy, this
will be easy, this will be easy.....
Sometimes these wheels come off without a battle. Other times they can be a
real bear. Earlier wheels have an alloy hub and you can rock them a little
to get them to break free. The late 77-80 wheel has a steel spline and it
can really freeze to the column. You can use a puller, but it is difficult
to get behind the wheel to get a purchase on it.
good luck, and remember the mantra.
