Changing a wheel

Procedure

1. Read carefully and comply with the

safety precautions on page

157

2. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from

rolling:
Place the wedges – chocks – behind
the wheels on the side opposite the
side you are lifting. If the vehicle is
parked on a downward slope, place
the wedges securely in front of the
wheels. If the wheel must be
changed on a surface with a more
severe slope, take additional precau-
tions to secure the vehicle from roll-
ing

3. Loosen the lug bolts 1/2-turn
4. Insert the jack handle into the jack,

refer to the illustration in the next col-
umn

5. Position the jack at the jacking point

closest to the flat tire so that the jack
base is vertically below the jacking
point and the entire surface of the
head of the jack will move into the
square recess of the jacking point,
refer to the illustration detail, when
the jack is cranked

6. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel

you are changing is raised from the
ground

7. Unscrew the lug bolts and remove

the wheel

8. Remove accumulations of mud or

dirt from the mounting surfaces of
the wheel and hub. Clean the lug
bolts

9. Position the spare wheel. Secure the

wheel by turning at least two lug
bolts into opposite bolt holes

530de236

10. Screw in the remaining lug bolts.

Tighten all the bolts securely in a
diagonal pattern

11. Lower the jack and remove it from

beneath the vehicle

12. Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal

pattern

13. Check and correct the tire inflation

pressure at the earliest opportunity.

Protect valve stems and valves from dirt
using screw-on valve stem caps. Dirt in
the valve stems frequently leads to slow
leaks.

The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not

attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind.
To do so could cause accidents and
personal injury.
To ensure continued safety, have the
tightness of the lug bolts checked with
a calibrated lug wrench – torque speci-
fication: 101 lb-ft/140 Nm – at the earli-
est opportunity.

Store the wheel and the tools in the
order opposite that for removal.
