Emergency repairs
218
When removing a wheel with a cracked or damaged wheel rim,
always deflate the tire (remove the tire valve) in view of possible
tensions in the wheel rim.
General
- Only use the original tire wheel rims specified for the vehicle concerned.
- Make sure that tires of the same type are fitted on both sides of the axle.
- Insufficient cleaning of the mating surfaces and/or uneven tightening of the
wheel nuts may cause vibrations during driving or braking.
Note:
If a wheel stud is renewed, the other wheel studs on the relevant wheel must also
be renewed.
Removing the wheel
1. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle moving off.
2. Clean the screw thread of the wheel studs using a wire brush.
3. Oil the wheel studs sparingly.
4. Unscrew the wheel nuts.
5. Fit a jack under the jacking point at the wheel to be replaced.
6. Jack up the vehicle and place a support under the axle.
7. Remove the wheel nuts and take the wheel off the hub.
