Tyre Repairs or Special Uses
Repairs or specialised tyres should
only be carried out or supplied by
fully qualified personnel from
accredited tyre centres. Your Morgan
dealer will be able to supply
information or arrange the correct
services.
Wheel/5 Stud
To remove wheels, jack up the car
(see jacking). Be sure the car is on
level ground and the brakes are
applied. Fit the spanner over each nut
and loosen before jacking up the car.
When the car is clear of the ground
loosen the nuts by hand and rernove
the wheel.
Warning: When refitting, tighten the
nuts in a diagonal pattern to pull the
wheel up evenly until tight. Finally
check the tightness when the wheel is
on the ground.
Warning: If a spare wheel with unused
tread is fitted to the back axle and the
opposite tyre is partly worn, the effect
on the limited slip axle may affect the
handling of the car. If the car is run
for long period with uneven tyres
damage to the axle may occur.
Wire Wheels
To remove wheels, jack up the care
(see jacking). Be sure the car is on
level ground and the brakes are
applied. Fit the spanner over the nut
at the centre of the wheel and strike
with the hammer on the lugs at each
side. Once free remove by hand.
Warning: Take great care to avoid
hitting hands and arms. Also watch
for contact with the body work which
may deflect the hammer. The
direction in which the nut should be
turned to release the wheel is marked
on the centre.
To refit the wheel, slide the centre
carefully over the splines, if possible
apply grease to the splines before
fitting. Refit the nut until hand tight by
turning in the opposite direction to the
‘undo’ arrow.
Warning: Be certain that the nut is
refitted to the correct side, marked on
the centre of the cap. If this is not
done the wheel may release in
motion. Refit the spanner to the nut
and strike the lug in correct direction
to tighten.
Centre Locking Alloy Wheels
The removal and fitting of these
wheels is similar to the wire wheels
with the exception of the use of a
spanner and bar to release the central
nut. When refitting the wheels, it is
important to make sure that the nut is
lightly greased before fitting into the
taper. The nut should then be
tightened by hand and then the bar
used to apply the final quarter turn to
lock the wheel in place. After the car
has been run for a short distance, it is
recommended that the wheel nuts are
rechecked.
Brakes
Warning: The importance of brake
maintenance cannot be over-stressed.
You are legally required to keep the
braking system to a required level.
Brake pads and linings must be
renewed in axle sets. Failure to do so
will seriously affect the operation of
the system.
Any drop in reservoir fluid level or
operation standards must be reported
immediately to your dealer.
Never make modification to the
braking system. Changes must be
carried out by trained personnel. It is
recommended that all repairs and
brake services should be carried out
by your dealer.
