Note
It is important to note that the two types
of road wheel shown in Figure
R1 are not
interchangeable as individual items, and
that fitting a different type of wheel to a
car would also involve changing the wheel
disc and tyre valve.
Regardless of the type of wheel fitted, the wheel
retaining nuts should be torque tightened to between
6,22 kg.m. and 6,91 kg.m. (45 1b.ft. and 50 1b.ft.l

Note
When renewing a damaged wheel stud, it
may be necessary to use a press of
approximately 2 032 kg. (2 tons) capacity
to remove and fit the wheel stud.
When fitting the new wheel stud it should
be rotated until the splines line up with
those already cut in the hub and then
pressed into position. Adequate interference
is maintained to enable each wheel stud
to be renewed approximately three times
when in service.
It is important to note that new wheel hub and
stud assemblies are in no way interchangeable with
old assemblies.
