Changing a wheel
Before the vehicle is jacked up, the
handbrake should be applied and
one of the gears engaged to make
sure that the vehicle stands still.
Lay a couple of stones or chocks
i
n front of and behind the wheels
that remain on the ground.
Removing
1
Lever off the hub cap with the
help of the spade-shaped lever.
2 Loosen the wheel nuts slightly
with the help of the box spanner
and tommy bar. All the wheels
have
nuts
with
right-hand
threads
which are loosened by
turning in an anti-clockwise
direction.
3 Insert the lifting claw of the
jack in the appropriate jack
attachment of the wheel to be
changed. Lift up the side of the
car far enough for the wheel to
turn freely.
4
Unscrew the wheel nuts com-
pletely and lift off the wheel.
Be careful when lifting off the
wheel so that the threads of the
studs are not damaged.
Fitting
Fit the new wheel and tighten the
nuts until the wheel is in good con-
tact
with the hub flange. Then
lower the vehicle and tighten the
nuts finally. Tighten the nuts alter-
nately.
Fit the hub cap by striking it smart-
ly
with the hand opposite the last
of the lugs to engage.
