front wheel removal

Hi,
I was wondering if there any tricks to remove the front wheel on my 2006 330i, with sport suspension. I have read a bit about wheel lock removal here: http://www.unitedbimmer.com/kb-e36-w...ck-removal.php
but this was not as helpful to me. I am hoping for a easier solution!

thanks

There are not really many tricks to the trade of removing wheels.

1) Breaker bar (Don't use a Torque Wrench or it will damage the calibration)
2) Sockets/extensions
3) Torque wrench to tighten

I generally like tightening the wheel as much as I can off the ground, then torquing to about 86-88ft/lbs. once its on the floor. What kind of tricks were you looking for? Either way, make sure not to use a impact gun!
