Self-help
– Grip the box spanner as close to the end as possible and tight-
en the bolt firmly by turning clockwise.
WARNING
The wheel bolts should only be loosened slightly (about one turn) before
raising the vehicle with the jack. Risk of accident!
Note
If the wheel bolt is very tight, it may be possible to loosen it by pushing
down the end of the box spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the ve-
hicle for support and take care not to slip.
Raising the vehicle
Fig. 132 Changing a
wheel: Jacking points
Fig. 133 Fitting the jack
To place the jack, locate the jacking point under the door sill clos-
est to the wheel to be changed ⇒ Fig. 132. The jacking point is di-
rectly underneath the stamp on the door sill.
– Turn the crank handle on the jack to wind it up under the jack-
ing point until its claw is directly below the jacking point of the
door sill.
– Adjust the jack so that its claw surrounds the jacking point on
the door sill ⇒ Fig. 133 - B underneath the stamp on the door
sill.
– Make sure that the base of the jack is entirely supported on a
flat surface and that it is vertical ⇒ Fig. 133 to the point where
the claw surrounds the jacking point on the door sill.
– Continue to wind up the jack using the crank handle until the
defective wheel is clear off the ground.
