This is on my Cross 8, regular models will need the front wheel removed. If you can’t do that safely, don’t do this job.
Remove the bloody Phillips head scrivets. Start by getting some tension on them. Hold the base or use a pry tool to stop it spinning.
Once it starts coming out, use the trim pry tool to get some purchase under it. Give it some curry and it comes out. Chuck them away. We won’t be using them again.
Next we do the screws. I did it this way because I left the wheel on and couldn’t turn it (having the back up on stands.)
Then the 10mm hex head 14 gauge screws need to come out.
The plastic wheel well can be manoeuvred out.
