Warning: Light alloy wheels are protected against corrosion by a clear varnish. Be careful not to damage the varnish coating. If the coating is damaged, apply a coat of varnish to the wheel.
Warning: Zinc plated wheel bolts can only be used on stamped steel wheels.
Warning: Alloy wheels are secured only with chrome plated wheel bolts that have a conical rotating washer. This washer, located under the bolt head, protects the wheel surface when the bolts are tightened.
Warning: Do not lubricate the wheel bolt threads before screwing in.
Warning: Standard wheel mounting bolts have dimensions of M14x1.5x27.5. Head size under the key is 17 mm.
Warning: Tighten the wheel mounting bolts evenly in several stages in a diagonal sequence.
Warning: Tightening torque for wheel mounting bolts is 120 Nm.
Execution order
1. Remove the decorative wheel cover. To do this, use the pry bar and wire clip from the tool kit. The wire clip is installed on the hole in the cover or on the edge. Pass the pry bar through the clip and, pulling the pry bar away from the wheel, remove the cover.
2. With the vehicle on the ground, apply the handbrake and loosen the wheel mounting bolts.
3. Raise the appropriate side of the vehicle and secure it on stands.
4. Unscrew the upper wheel mounting bolt.
5. Screw the dowel pin into its place. Using the dowel pin makes it easier to install the spare tire.
6. To prevent the wheel disks from "sticking" to the hub, before installing the wheel, apply a thin layer of grease to the hub flange that centers the wheel disk.
