■Install the hexagon key of the wheel
wrench ensuring that it locates
securely on the bolt.
■ Turn the wheel wrench anticlockwise to loosen the bolt.
Remove the bolt.

tight using the hexagon key of the
wheel wrench.■ Store the tool box and the damaged
wheel outside up in the spare wheel well and secure it by turning the
wing nut clockwise on the bolt.
The floor cover can be placed on the
projecting wheel.
To fit the spare wheel in the well after
renewing the defective wheel use the
short thread bolt again. Exchange the bolt in the same way.
