Taking the wheel off/installing a wheel
Follo w these instructions step-by-step for chang
ing the wheel.
Fig. 181 Changing a wheel: using the screwdrive r handle
(with the blade removed) to turn the bolts
Fig. 182 Changing a wheel: alignment pin insid e the top
hole
After you have loosened all wheel bolts and
raised the vehicle off the ground, remove and re
place the wheel as follows:
Removing the wheel
.. Remove the topmost wheel bolt completely
with the
hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle (vehicle tool kit)
¢fig . 181 and set it
aside on a
clean surface.
.. Screw the threaded end of the
alignment pin
from the tool kit hand-tight into the empty bolt
hole
¢fig. 182 .
.. Then remove the other wheel bolts as described
above .
.. Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in
the bolt hole
c::;, (D.
222
Putting on the other wheel
.. Push the wheel over the alignment pin .
.. Screw on the wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly using the hexagonal socket .
.. Remove the alignment pin and insert and tight
en the remaining wheel bolt slightly like the
rest .
.. Turn the jack hand le counter-clockwise to lower
the vehicle until the jack is fully released .
.. Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel
bolts firmly
c::;, page 220. Tighten them in a
crisscross pattern,
from one bolt to the (ap
proximately) opposite one, to keep the wheel
centered .
.. Perform the steps required after changing the
wheel
c::;, page 219, A~er changing a wheel.
The hexagonal socket makes it easier to remove
the wheel bolts from the rim. Care should be tak
en when removing the reversible blade.
(D Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
rim could hit the brake rotor/ceramic brake
rotor* and damage the rotor. Work carefully
and have a second person to help you.
(D Tips
- When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design
make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
c::;, page 223.
- The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be
fore remounting the wheel.
- Do not use the hexagonal socket in the
screwdriver handle to loosen or tighten the
wheel bolts .
