I was able to get to similar locations when replacing the side markers without taking off the wheels. Wondering if I can do the same with this.
Although this would offer an excuse to completely clean the wheels.
Thanks in advance.
(At the moment I don’t have a 22mm socket.)
Can be done without removing the wheels.

I'm always hesitant to search on U-Toob just because I end up having to sift through a TON of really bad clips to find one I can use.

Swapped out my suede knee bolsters for leather. Used a "Premiere Dual Tip Design Marker by Nicole" to match the orange stitching, color is Tangerine. Color appears to be a perfect match. I saw a post somewhere on the web about using a fifty-fifty solution of vinegar and water to dampen (not saturate) the threads and then carefully go over them with the marker so that's what I did, time will tell if it lasts. Hopefully the vinegar and water solution didn't do anything to the leather.





The armrest on the bottom is an original Fifty armrest, used it as a comparison to see how the color matches.

Seems like it smooths things up a bit. From what I've been reading, it's a nice, noticable difference.

Wow, that looks great! That should have been an official option. A bit more swanky.
