Trying to replace my inner and outer tire on this old gazelle, so far I got the nut off on the right side but no luck with this one, it also looks different.
I’m Italian and I’m reading the translation. If I understand correctly, first you have to unscrew the chain from the cable. In the photo above there is a thread that fits onto a tube, unscrew there. Then you can unscrew the bolt. Most Bromptons have this system, look into other Brompton subs or search YT for videos on the B’s gearbox.
I’m referring to the third photo

Yes. You will need to unscrew the joint in the hub gear cable first. Then just put a spanner on the flats of the wheel nut. Take it off fully and remove the plate which holds the gear cable stop. Pull wheel out. Change tyre and tube. Reverse process.
Keep this photo to show you how it goes back.
Gear cable will need a bit of adjustment once reconnected to make sure you can get all gears
Edit to get wheel out you will need to slip chain off chainwheel
You donβt have to unscrew the gear changer from inside of the Sturmy Archer hub. Unscrew it from outside, at barrel adjuster on the left side of the hub. Then put a good ole 15 on that big ole nut and break it loose. You should be able to thread the nut off the chain.βοΈβπ₯ If 12 year old me can hack this, it should be no problem for you. ππ»ππ»
