If the front tires are more worn, it is recommended to change the front wheels to the rear ones. In this case, all four tires will have approximately the same service life.
When tightening the wheel nuts, a torque wrench must be used. This ensures that all wheel nuts are evenly tightened.
It is recommended to change two wheels of the same axle at the same time. Tires with a deeper tread must be installed on the front wheels.
Caution: When changing or removing tubeless tires, for safety reasons, the rubber nipple must always be changed.
Use a wire brush to remove any traces of rust on the surface of the wheel rim adjacent to the hub. To protect against corrosion of the seating surface of the wheel and hub, it is necessary to coat them with grease after each dismantling.
Remove the wheel cover using the flat end of the wheel nut wrench.
Before dismantling, marking the position of the wheel relative to the hub for subsequent installation in the same position.
Light-alloy wheel rims protect against corrosion with a colorless varnish. When changing wheels, take care not to damage the protective coating.
For wheels made of light alloys, special nuts are used.
Attention: If the vehicle has light alloy rims and the spare wheel has a steel rim, it is recommended to have the appropriate nuts for the steel rim in the vehicle tool kit.
Clean contaminated nuts and threads.
Tighten the wheel nuts crosswise in several steps.
Attention: Uneven tightening of the wheel nut can lead to deformation of the hub and wheel. The tightening torque for all nuts is 105 Nm.
For light alloy wheels, the nuts must be tightened to 105 Nm after 1500 km.
