wheel bolts VOLVO S60 2008 Owners Manual

3. Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool bag.
4. With the vehicle still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 - 1 turn by exerting downward
pressure. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your vehicle's transmission.
Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated.
The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.
Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminum and steel wheels. If hub caps are used on steel wheels, the
locking wheel bolt should be mounted in the hole as far from the tire's inflation valve as possible. It would otherwise
not be possible to mount the hub cap on the wheel.

Changing wheels
1. Position the jack correctly on the bar in the attachment (see the illustration) and crank while simultaneously guiding
the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before
raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.
2. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.

3. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads on the studs.
NOTE
To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and
position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to
ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).
Installing the wheel
1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.
2. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.
3. Install the wheel bolts and tighten hand -tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise until all bolts are snug.
4. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 102 ft. lbs. (140 Nm).
5. Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
