their flange section
comes in contact with the wheel and it
is no longer loose.
NOTE●
If all 4 aluminium wheels are
changed to steel wheels, e.g.
when fitting winter tyres, use tapered nuts.
WARNING
!●
Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outboard. If you cannot s
ee the valve stem, you have
installed the wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle with
