Fig. 179 Changing a wheel: using the screwdriver handl e
(with the blade removed) to turn the bolts
Fig. 180 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 whee l as follows:
Removing the wheel
• Remove the topmost wheel bolt comp letely
with the
hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
230
handle (vehicle tool kit) ¢ fig. 179 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. 180.
• Then remove the other wheel bolts as described
above.
• Takeoff the whee l leaving the alignment pin in
the bolt hole¢ (!).
Putting on the spare tire
• Push the spare tire over the alignment pin.
• Screw on the wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly using the hexagonal socket.
• Remove the alignment pin and insert and t ight
en the remaining wheel bolt slightly like the
rest.
• Tur n the jack hand le counter-clockw ise to lower
the vehicle until the jack is fully released.
• Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten a ll wheel
bolts firmly ¢
page 228. 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 chang ing the
wheel¢
page 227, A~er changing a wheel.
The hexagonal socket makes it easier to remove
the wheel bo lts from the rim . Care should be tak

rim could hit the brake rotor and damage the
rotor . Work carefully and have a second per

-When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design
make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way¢
page 231.
-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.
