As I am sure the information will be useful to others I have moved your request into the Technical section.
The information you need can be found in the Technical, How To .. section in the 003 - How To . . . Dismantle an A4 Mallard document. (link below)

The special tool to undo the wheel nuts is available from the club shop - OOLS as item LSC 1019
You may only need to remove one wheel but because there is a beveled gear on the centre wheel axle that controls the timing just be aware that disengaging this gear affects the timing. It is essential to note the position of the wheel crank at the time of removal and ensure it replaced in exactly the same position when replaced.
Good luck and let us know how you go on.
