If this procedure does not work:
aStrike the inner surface of the wheel (2) using a mal-
let and a wooden block to detach it.
aRemove:
-the wheel bolts,
-the wheel.
REFITTING
I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION
aClean the hub carrier using a wire brush.
aCheck the condition of the tyre.
aDo not move or remove the balance weights.
II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
aClean the mating surfaces between the wheel and
the hub carrier using a wire brush.aCoat the wheel-mating face (3) with COPPER ANTI-
SEIZE AGENT (see Vehicle: Parts and consum-
ables for the repair) (04B, Consumables - Prod-
ucts).
aAlign the mark on the wheel with the mark made on
the hub when it was removed.
aFit the wheel to the vehicle, positioning the valve at
the top.
aInsert the wheel bolts.
aTighten the wheel bolts to bring all the bolt heads
into contact with the wheel.

aPretighten the wheel bolts to 30 N.m, with the wheel
suspended, starting with the bolts at the bottom.
aRotate the wheel through 180˚ to bring the valve into
the bottom position.
aPosition the vehicle on its wheels.
aTorque tighten the wheel bolts in order (see 30A,
General information, Front axle system: Tighten-
ing torque, page 30A-27) (30A, General informa-
tion).
aRefit the trim piece.Note:
Use sockets with protective sheaths in order to
avoid scratching the alloy wheel rims.

Wheel rim: Identification
35A
IDENTIFICATION
1 - Marking
There are two types of identification marking on the
wheel rims:
-engraved marking for steel wheel rims,
-cast marking for alloy wheel rims.
The marking gives the main dimensional specifications
of the wheel rim.
This marking may be:
-complete, for example 6 J 15 5 CH 36,
-simplified, for example 6 J 15.
There are 3 types of wheel rim edges (2) :
-those with two flat edges,
-those with two raised edges,
-those with one flat edge and one raised edge.2 - Installation diameter for the wheel bolts
The wheel bolts are positioned with a pitch circle dia-
meter of:
-5 holes: 108 mm,
-4 holes: 100 mm.
3 - Rim run-out
The maximum run-out is measured at the wheel rim
edge (7) .
Steel wheel rims: 0.8 mm
Alloy wheel rims: 0.3 mm
4 - Out-of-roundness
The maximum out-of-round value is measured on the
tyre bead bearing surface.

IMPORTANT
To avoid any risk of triggering when working on
or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pre-
tensioners), lock the airbag computer using the
diagnostic tool.
When this function is activated, all the trigger
lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on
the instrument panel lights up continuously (igni-
tion on).
IMPORTANT
Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (preten-
sioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or
naked flame - they may be triggered.
