How to remove the front wheel?

Do I need special tools to remove the front wheel?
Just got Diablo's off the web and want to bring in the wheels to a local garage to get them fitted. They charge too much to remove the wheels (that is if the will do it in the first place) so prefer to do it myself.

Thx!

Bink you don't any special tools. How much is it costing to get them fitted?

No special tools Bink, just be damned certain to get the exact key for the allen bolts on the forks, I wrung one of mine, and am dreading trying to get the wheel off next time.

One company - the Dublin Tyre Company - would charge â‚¬80

(that's Â£52,-) for taking off the wheels, fitting the tyres, balancing & re-fitting the wheels...

Thanks for letting me know - Was a nightmare when I did it on my zx6-r last. We were Â½ way through when we noticed we needed a special tool for it!

Thx for the warning RQ.
