So if in corner to corner and eligible to wheel as a whole into side contact when does this take place alignment phase or movement phase and if in the latter is there a cost in cards to to it. If in the former 4.1 should apply.

It isn't an alignment and so is a normal move at normal card cost.

Taking it a stage further if a two element frontage Tug wants to do this wheel and I have another Tug exactly 80mm behind the front edge of the unit he wants to Flank is:
A) the move not possible
Or
B) he flanks my TUG but he also is flanked by my reserve unit as his side will be in contact with the front edge of my supporting unit's base.
Sorry to be like a dog with a bone on this but want a definitive answer before Skulls..

A I believe as I don't think such a contact with the supporting unit would be a legal one.

It is on page 81 in the alignment section. Lining up is restricted to one BW and wheeling into alignment is shown as 2 BW and then goes on to say that this might prevent some units aligning (presumably those with a wider frontage).

Yes this a different section of the rules about aligning.  2BW there to stop really extreme aligns.  Although never really felt a big issue in practice.
The section you are referring to is page 80 which gives two specific options that you can make: 1 align sideways 1BW (as not allowed gnerally by aligning rules)  or the wheel with mo distance limit other than movement speed.
