If the front wheels are more worn, it is recommended to swap them with the rear wheels. This way, all wheels will have the same service life. Use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel nuts, this will ensure uniform and strong tightening of the wheels. Do not replace tires one by one, replace at least one axle tire at a time. In this case, install tires with a large tread on the front wheels.
Caution: When replacing or removing a tubeless tire, replace the rubber valve for safety reasons.
To protect the wheel from corrosion, coat the centering surface of the wheel hub with a thin layer of grease each time it is removed.
Remove the wheel cap using the plastic end of a wheel lug wrench.
Before removing the wheel, mark its position on the hub with chalk so that you can install it in its original place.
Light metal wheels are coated with a clear varnish to protect against corrosion. When unscrewing the wheel, be careful not to damage the coating, otherwise restore the coating with clear varnish.
For light metal rims, use nuts with built-in rotating washers. The conical washer on the nut prevents damage to the outer surface of the rim when tightening the nut.
Please note: If your vehicle has wheels with light metal rims and the spare wheel has a steel rim, it is advisable to have the appropriate lug nuts for the steel rim with you.
Clean contaminated nuts and threads.
Tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
Caution! Unilateral or uneven tightening of wheel nuts may result in warping of the disc and/or wheel hub. The tightening torque for all nuts should be 100 Nm.
