Wheel Removal and InstallationS7RS0B2406003
Removal
WARNING!
Do not removal all of the wheel nuts at once,
because all the wheels of this vehicle are
mounted by the wheel nuts.
Leave a nut at least not to drop the wheel.
Support the wheel and/or tire and then
remove the nut(s) left with the wheel.

1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180° (half a
rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways.
4) Remove wheel nut except one.
5) Support the wheel and/or tire not to drop the wheel and then remove the nut left with the wheel.
CAUTION!
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because
the application of heat to wheel causes the
wheel life shorter and the wheel bearing
damage.

Installation
CAUTION!
When installing wheel (with tire) which has
arrow (1) indicating tire rotation direction on
its side, make sure that arrow direction is
same as actual tire ro tation direction when
vehicle is moving forw ard (2). Otherwise,
water drainage performance and straight line
vehicle stability will be affected.

For installation, reverse removal procedure, noting the
following.
• Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to specified torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc.
NOTE
Before installing wheels, remove any build-
up of corrosion on wheel mounting surface
and brake disc mounting surface by scraping
and wire brushing. Installing wheels without
good metal-to-metal contact at mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen,
which can later allow a wheel to come off
while vehicle is moving.
