Rear Tires and rim

[asigetic]

This is a Lehman Trike kit. Well I started to tear down the new to me trike in the front end to install Zook's rake kit I ordered yesterday and decide to check the rear brakes while I'm waiting. Low and behold I pooped off he left center cap and to my disbelieve I found only 3 lug nut hold the tire on and the forth hole looks like it was torched out and there was nothing there. So my ? is how do you raise the trike to get the wheel out to replace it and what rim will fit this trike and I might as well replace the tires while I;m there.Thanks in advance.

A little more details would help.Disc brakes,drum brakes? What year is the trike kit?
Are you sure lug stud was torched out ? Could have broken and just looks torched.Replacing a lug nut stud in the axle flange is fairly easy fix and the hole in the wheel could look large to you do to the type of lug nuts used on these type wheels,they are larger than a factory automotive wheel lug nut holes.Might be wheel is usable yet.
Need to know which rear-end was used for kit to get replacement parts.

Sorry,forgot you asked how to raise the trike to get the wheel off.
ou can use a small rol around floor jack to raise just one side at a time,placed under the rear-end housing,and only lift igh enough so groung clearence is under tire.Put a jack stand under frame for saftey while you are working on it.
Hope this helps a little.

I just bought the trike its on a 1999 Honda Goldwing GL1500SE I don't know what year the trike is but it does have drums and the stud is there and a big gaping hole where the lug should mount up. How do you raise the trike kit to get the wheel out from under neath it. Thanks

I have the Lehamn kit on my 08 G/W. I have a Suzuki car rear end. You can stop at any tire/rim store with a rim and they measure your bolt pattern and can sell you new rims and tires.I also use a roll around jack( pep boys $29 ) on my trike.
