Alignment
As a supplement to the Service Manual, I found this document on the internet: Jaguar Tire Alignment.
Knock-off (Spinner) Tool
I have always used a lead hammer to tighten or remove the spinners on my Big Healey and had planned to do the same for the Jaguar. However, in watching a YouTube video by DaveJaguar66, I was introduced to a new tool that Lionel Roberts at [email protected] makes for this purpose. It is machined from aluminum and therefore softer than the chrome spinner and it uses a 1-1/2″ socket and a long tommy bar. No more banging with a hammer and risking a missed blow striking bodywork! I have now tried the tool and love it. Lionel makes different size tools to accommodate differences in spinner size. As far as I am concerned this is a must-have tool.
So, now instead of a lead hammer, I will be carrying a tommy bar, a 1-1/2″ socket and Lionel’s tool in my boot!

Hi Lin,
Thanks so much for posting all of this. Fantastic work! Can I ask what sort of price you paid for this wheel spinner removal tool – it looks just the job and far better that the bit of old wood that I use!!! Regards, Tony
Hello Tony,
The spinner tool is approximately $70.00 plus postage from the UK. Well worth the expense. Beautifully made tool.
