WHEELS AND TYRES

REPAIR Off vehicle balancing
Balance wheel assembly referring to equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
It is essential that the wheel is located by the centre
holeNOTthe stud holes. To ensure positive wheel
location the diameter of the locating collar on the
machine shaft must be 112.80 to 112.85 mm (4.441 to
4.443 in). This diameter will ensure that the collar fits
correctly within the centre hole of the wheel.
Where possible always use the vehicle wheel
retaining nuts to locate the wheel on the balancer, to
avoid damaging the wheel. If this is not possible, the
locating nuts must be of a similar pattern to the
original wheel nuts. The use of conical type wheel
nuts for this purpose may damage the aluminium
alloy.
Cleaning
Wash the aluminium wheels using a suitable wash
and wax concentrate correctly diluted and rinse with
cold clear water.DO NOTuse abrasives or aluminium
wheel cleaners containing acid, as they will destroy
the lacquer finish.
Tyre changing
Use only tyre changing equipment to mount or
demount tyres, following the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.DO NOTuse hand tools
or tyre levers, as they may damage tyre beads or the
aluminium wheel rim.
Puncture repair
Remove punctured tyre from wheel and repair using a
combination service plug and vulcanising patch.
Always follow manufacturer's instructions when using
a puncture repair kit.
Only punctures in tread area are repairable,DO NOT
attempt to repair punctures in tyre shoulders or
sidewalls.
Do not attempt to repair a tyre that has sustained the
following: bulges or blisters, ply separation, broken or
cracked beads, wear indicators visible and punctures
larger than 6 mm diameter.
CAUTION: Do not use tyre sealants that
are injected through valve stem to repair
punctured tyres, they may produce wheel
corrosion and tyre imbalance.
Aluminium wheel rim bead seats should be cleaned
using a non-abrasive cleaner to remove the mounting
lubricants and old rubber. Before mounting or
demounting a tyre, bead area should be well
lubricated with a suitable tyre lubricant.
TYRE FITTING
Alloy wheels
1.Install a new valve assembly.
2.Ensure wheel and tyre is adequately lubricated.
3.Mount tyre in normal manner. Inflate tyre and at
same time apply hand pressure to area around
valve to aid seating over valve first.
NOTE: Stop inflation immediately if tyre
seats opposite valve, as this will result in
valve being blocked by tyre beading,
making further inflation impossible, and carry out
following procedure.
4.Deflate tyre, unseat and rotate it around the rim
until valve is in line with that part of tyre which
seated initially. This part of beading having
seated over hump previously will automatically
seat first when tyre is re-inflated.
5.Inflate tyre to seat beads correctly, finally inflate
to correct pressure.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION AIRBAG STORAGE
Temporary storage
For temporary storage of the airbag module during
service, observe the following precautions:
Store the airbag module with the pad surface up.
Place the airbag module in designated storage area.
If no designated storage area is available, the module
may be stored in the boot of the vehicle from which it
was removed. Always lock the boot when module is
stored in it and inform workshop supervisor.
WARNING: If the airbag is improperly
stored face down, accidental deployment
could propel the unit with enough force to
cause serious injury.
Store the removed airbag module on a secure flat
surface away from heat, oil, grease, detergent or
water.
CAUTION: Improper handling or storage
can internally damage the airbag module,
making it inoperative. If you suspect the
airbag module has been damaged, install a new
unit.
Overnight storage
Airbag modules are classed as an explosive article
and as such they must be stored in a secure steel
cabinet which has been approved by the local
authority.

CAUTION: Ensure indicator cancellation
pegs correctly engage into back of
steering wheel.13.Align direction indicator cancellation bush. If
original rotary coupler is being fitted remove
adhesive tape and then fit rotary coupler to
column switch assembly.
NOTE: If original rotary coupler is to be
fitted and there is evidence of tampering, it
is imperative that the coupler is
centralised.
See rotary coupler centralise.
14.If a new rotary coupler is being fitted and the
sealing tape at positionBis broken it MUST
NOT be used.
15.Refit steering wheel.
See steering wheel.
16.Turn steering wheel to both LH and RH lock 5
times. If adverse noises can be heard, check
alignment of indicator cancellation pegs.
17.Refit driver's airbag module.
See driver's

REPAIR ROTARY COUPLER CENTRALISE
Fitting a rotary coupler which has not been centralised
could result in tape breakage. If the tape is broken, a
new rotary coupler must be fitted.
Providing the removal procedure has been correctly
followed this operation should not be necessary. If
however there is evidence of tampering, it is
imperative that the coupler is centralised.
CAUTION: Ensure wheels are positioned
straight ahead before fitting the rotary
coupler.
1.Correctly fit rotary coupler to column switch
assembly but do not fit steering wheel or make
any electrical connections.
See rotary coupler.
2.Depress rotary coupler locking peg and without
using undue force, rotate coupler anti-clockwise
as far as inner tape will allow. Releasing peg will
lock coupler in its current position.
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force when
limit is reached as this may result in tape
breakage. If no limit can be found, tape
has already broken and rotary coupler must be
replaced.
3.Having turned rotary coupler fully anti-clockwise
to limit position, proceed to turn coupler 2.5 turns
clockwise to obtain central position. (Coupler will
normally rotate a full five turns from
anti-clockwise limit to clockwise limit).
4.Make necessary electrical connections and refit
steering wheel.
See steering wheel.
5.Refit driver's airbag module.See driver's
airbag module.
