WHEELS AND TYRES
Wheel: Removal - Refitting
35A
The removal - refitting procedure is the same for all
wheels.
REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
aRelease the parking brake.
aRemove the trim.
aPosition the wheel so that the valve is at the top.
aMark the position of the wheel on the hub.
II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART
CONCERNED
aLoosen the wheel bolts with the wheel on the
ground.
aRaise the lift.
aRemove:
-the wheel bolts,
-the wheel.
If the wheel cannot be removed after the bolt has
been undone:
aPosition all the wheel bolts.
aTighten the wheel bolts to bring all the bolt heads
into contact with the wheel.
aUndo the wheel bolts by one turn.aStrike around the edge of the tyre walls (1) several
times using a mallet on the inner and outer surfaces
of the wheel to detach the wheel.
aRemove:
-the wheel bolts,
-the wheel. Note:
This mark is required in order to:
-Note the original position of the wheel on the
hub,
-perform the balancing operation.
Note:
Use sockets with protective sheaths in order to
avoid scratching the alloy wheel rims.

Wheel: Removal - Refitting
35A
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.

Note:
Do not strike the surface of the wheel using
excessive force as this may damage it.

there are two types of wheel bolts for alloy and
steel wheel rims; do not swap them.

35A
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.

35A-6
WHEELS AND TYRES
Wheel: Balancing
35A
aEnter the specific wheel parameters when starting
the wheel balancer.
aStart the wheel balancer and check the wheel bal-
ance, which should be 0 g on each plane of the
wheel.
aIf this is not the case, remove the old wheel balanc-
ing weights and repeat the wheel balancing proce-
dure, checking that the wheel balance equals 0 on
each wheel plane.
IV - FINAL OPERATION
aRefit the wheel (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,
Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) . WARNING
To avoid detachment of the balance weights, use
only weights which correspond to the vehicle
wheel rims.

WHEELS AND TYRES
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.
