the wheel to be changed.

• Check that the threads of the
wheel studs are undamaged,
clean, and free from lubricant.
• Some models may be fitted
with Dacromet studs (these can
be recognised by their
grey/silver appearance), these
studs must not be oiled or
greased.
• Under condition of abnormal
corrosion, a modest amount of
lubricant may be applied to non
Dacromet stud types, only the
protruding threads of the wheel
studs. Do not use penetrating
oil.
• Fit the wheel, gradually
tightening the wheel nuts in the
correct sequence.
• Torque tighten the wheel nuts.
• Wheel nuts should be re-
torqued after the first loaded
