Wheel with wheel trimWhen removing the wheel, first remove the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture using the wheelbrace.When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel trim, starting by placing its aperture in line with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.
► With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim using tool 7.► With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from each of the bolts using tool 7.► If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt socket 8 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security bolt.► Slacken (without removing) the other wheel bolts using just wheelbrace 5.

Risk of injury!Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or collapse.Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact surface is correctly centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.
► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.► Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
► Fit the wheel on the hub.► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.► Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 8.► Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5 only.
► Lower the vehicle again fully.► Fold jack 6 and remove it.
► If your vehicle is so equipped, tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 8.► Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5 only.► Store the tools.
