- on cars of earlier releases, temporarily install the wheel and lower the car to the ground again, install the upper mounting bolts and tighten with a torque of 45 Nm, raise the front of the car again and tighten the lower bolts with the same torque;
- on all vehicles, install the drive belt and tighten it with a pressure roller;
- reinstall the removable wheel arch cover;
- connect the wires to the generator and secure the clamp;
- install the wheel, lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the wheel nuts to a torque of 85 Nm;
