Light alloy rims are attached only with chrome-plated wheel bolts, which have a tapered rotating washer. This washer, mounted under the head of the bolt, protects the disc surface when the bolts are tightened.
Standard wheel bolts have dimensions - M14x1.5x27.5. Turnkey head size - 17 mm.
The tightening torque of the wheel bolts is 120 Nm.
Order of execution
1. Remove the wheel trim. To do this, use the pry bar and wire clamp from the tool kit. The wire clip is installed on the opening of the cap or on the edge. Pass the pry bar through the bracket and pull the pry bar away from the wheel to remove the cap.
2. With the vehicle on the ground, apply the handbrake and loosen the wheel bolts.
3. Raise the appropriate side of the vehicle and secure it on stands.
4. Unscrew the upper wheel bolt and screw the dowel pin in its place. The use of a locating pin facilitates the installation of the spare wheel.
Warning: Light alloy rims are protected against corrosion by clear varnish. Be careful not to damage the lacquer finish. If the coating is damaged, cover the disc with a layer of varnish.
5. For exclusion "sticking" wheel discs to the hub, before installing the wheel, apply a thin layer of grease to the shoulder of the hub centering the wheel disc.
6. Before screwing in, do not lubricate the threads of the wheel bolts.
7. Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in several stages in a diagonal sequence.
