Front Wheel Removal 7745

[Paddy Mac]

Hi,

I know, I know, I must be dim, but here goes I will ask the question anyway.
Went this morning at 6 am to move a silage bale with my 7745, but front wheel flat as a pancake.
I need to take it to the garage for a puncture repair.
Question is how to get the wheel off??
There are a series of studs (maybe 16 in all) around the outside diameter of the hub. Do I undo these studs or bolts?

There is a more or less flat sort of hub cap in the center section, kept in by three large flat head bolts with a slot for a screwdriver.
Do I remove these, to get at a larger bolt or stud keeping the wheel in place?

Would appreciate guidance, as when I get home from work tonight I'm gonna hav to get this done in double quick time to get wheel off and to the garage.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I have never had to take a front wheel off a 4WD before.
2WD wheel looks much more simple.

Thanks

Undo the six rim bolts to remove the wheel

Thought about removing the rim, but then thought the equipment for removing the tyre from the rim normally grips in the centre hole on the wheel (circa 100mm dia)
If I just take off the wheel rim will the puncture repair guy have problems removing the tyre from the rim????????

Thanks

What type of equipment are you referring to ? I have only seen tire removers gripping the center hole, for automobile tires. All available tractor tire removers in my area grab the edge of the rim..
