Has anybody found a knack for refitting the rear wheel? Had a puncture on mine and whilst removing the rear wheel was pretty straightforward getting everything aligned and being able to slide the assembly back onto the rear arm is proving challenging - 2 hours so far and a sore back with little progress
...time for a cup of tea before round 2.
Any expert advice and tips would be much appreciated...

Nothing useful to add but I had a puncture on mine so I booked it in to the dealer to fix. A new tyre, labour and vat came to £400!

....got there in the end, after hours of frustration I rigged up a simple hoist to suspend the wheel which meant I wasn't trying to hold the weight of the wheel whilst trying to align everything and push forwards...took seconds to fit after I'd done that....now why didn't I think of that from the start..

As our new friend, Z suggested, maybe a run flat is the answer for the rear?

That is quite shocking - how long does it take ?
