NOTICE When refitting wheel covers (where
applicable), make sure that the valve
protrudes through the marked hole in
the wheel cover.
Do not overtighten the bolts using an
impact wrench: not only can this

make it impossible to undo the bolts
using the wheel wrench in the car’s
toolkit. Clean any rust or dirt from the contact sur-
faces between the wheel and brake disc
