WARNING
• Fit the socket wrench securely on the
wheel nut. If fitted improperly, the wrench
will slip off the nut, and could cause injury.
• Do not loosen the wheel nuts too much or
you could damage the threads.
WARNING
• Do not rotate the jacked-up wheel if the
vehicle has a limited-slip differential.
Power would be transmitted to the wheel
in contact with the ground, and the vehicle
could move as a result.
• When removing wheels, be careful not to
damage the wheel bolts and the threads of
the inner wheel nuts.
