- balloon wrench or socket wrench 17 mm;
- jack;
- anti-recoil stops;
- lining under the jack (if the machine is standing on loose ground).
Execution sequence
1. We install the car, if possible, on a flat horizontal platform. If there are passengers in the passenger compartment, they should be disembarked.
2. We take out the spare wheel and the necessary tool from the luggage compartment.
3. We fix the car with a parking brake and install wheel chocks on both sides under the wheel located diagonally from the one being replaced.
4. Remove the decorative cap of the wheel disc.
5. With a 17 mm balloon or socket wrench, we loosen the tightening of all wheel bolts by approximately half a turn.
Warning! If the vehicle is on loose ground, place a pad under the jack to increase the jack's support area (for example a board of a suitable size).
6. We install a jack under the threshold of the car.
The upper platform of the jack must be installed under a special bracket welded to the threshold of the body («Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»). In this case, the lower support platform of the jack must be strictly under the upper stop.
7. Slowly raise the car while checking that it does not move forward or backward. We make the rise until the wheel of the car to be replaced is at a distance of 2-3 cm from the supporting surface.
8. Finally unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the wheel.
9. Install the spare wheel on the hub. Holding the wheel, pre-bait the bolts of its fastening.
10. Holding the wheel from rotation, tighten the bolts of its fastening crosswise.
11. Slowly lower the car until the wheel touches the ground firmly. Next, fully lower the car on the wheels and fold the jack.
12. Finally tighten the wheel bolts in the same way to a torque of 65.2-92.6 Nm.
13. We put the removed wheel in the luggage compartment and securely fasten it.
14. Remove the wheel chocks.
15. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary, bring it to normal.
