If anything happens
Changing a wheel
Clean the brake drum and rim contact surfaces thoroughly
and make sure they are smooth and that the wheel nut
thrust washers are not damaged. Pay special attention to
mating rim surfaces on dual mounting. Make also sure that
the threads on the wheel studs and wheel nuts are not dam-
aged and oil them lightly.
Tightening the wheel
Single wheel
1. Lift the wheel onto the hub so that it centres on the hub
centre shoulders. Fit two wheel nuts diametrically oppo-
site.
2. Fit the other wheel nuts and tighten them so that the
wheel is against the hub mating surface.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts in the illustrated order to 200 Nm.
4. Tighten a further 90° in the same order.
Dual mounted wheels
To facilitate fitting dual mounted aluminium wheels, use two
guide sleeves VOLVO no. 9996833.
1. Fit the guide sleeves (aluminium wheel). Lift the inner
wheel onto the hub so that it centres on the hub centre
shoulders.
2. Then, lift on the outer wheel. Make sure the valve is dia-
metrically opposite the valve on the inner wheel.
3. Fit the wheel nuts. Remove any guide sleeves and fit the
remaining wheel nuts. Tighten the wheel nuts as for a
single wheel. (Steps 3 and 4 above.)
