DO-IT-YOURSELF
- Wind jack arm up by turning the crank handle
until
the jack
just
goes under the

vehicle.

- The claw of the jack must fit round the vertical rib on the side member so
that

the jack cannot slip when vehicle is
lifted

- see illustration.
- If the ground is soft, place a large strong
piece
of packing under the jack base
plate.
- Align jack and at same time wind claw up
further
until
it contacts the vertical rib on
side
member. •
Lift
vehicle
until
the defective wheel is

clear
of ground.
• Remove wheel bolts and place them on
a
clean surface (hub cap, cloth, paper) next
to the jack and take the wheel off.
• Fit spare wheel and lightly tighten all bolts. The wheel bolts must be clean and

easy
to
turn
- do not under any circum­

stances
use grease or oil!
• Lowervehicleand fully tighten bolts indi- agonal sequence.
• Refit the wheel trim.
•
Place
defective wheel in spare wheel carrier and secure it - see page 119.

Notes

• Pay attention to the following after changing a wheel:
- Check the
tyre
pressure immediately on the spare wheel which has been fitted.
- Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked
with
a torque wrench as

soon
as possible. The torque for steel
and alloy wheels is 160 Nm. If it has been established when changing
the wheel
that
wheel bolts are corroded and hard to screw in, they must be renewed be­
fore checking the tightening torque.
Until these checks have been carried out
one should, for safety reasons, only drive at

a
moderate
speed.

• The defective wheel should be repaired
as
soon as possible.

Attention
If the
vehicle
is to be
subsequent­
ly
fitted
with
wheels
or
tyres

which
differ
from
those
fitted
by
the
factory,
it is
essential
to
read

the
remarks
in the
centre
and
right
hand
columns on
page
113.
