standard cheap superglue isn,t permanent if you dont want it to be. just pop the part in very hot water and it destroys the bond without harming the pieces. john

benj, a clear nail varish is ok, it gives you a few seconds to seat the tyre properly. or you could use a special thick slow cure superglue with a setting time of 15-20seconds. the boiling water thing requires several goes, you have to take the wheels out and keep roling the edges of the tyres to beak the bond. when you glue on new tyres only run the bead round the outside edges, it makes it a lot easier to remove john.

dont use acetone on plastic wheels to get yor tyres off, not unless your a chemist with a stop watch.after?secs the paint comes off, then the plastic gets tacky and starts to dissolve, it does take a minute or so, but its the best method with alloys/john

nail glue is not superglue, otherwise you,d have a million lawsuits from women who have stuck their fingers together. its good for glueing tyres because it allows enough time to turn them round and make sure the tyres are seated right, before the glue grabs. john.

racing snake if the spotlight are attached seperately to the body, just dremel the little tabs flat, on the inside of the body. they,re usually melted on, then use some thing pointed to push them out. you can then push them back in for display. john
