Use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts to ensure that all bolts are evenly tightened.
Loosen the wheel bolts with the vehicle on the ground. At the same time, apply the parking brake or engage first gear so that the vehicle does not move.
Caution: When changing or removing tubeless tires, be sure to replace the rubber valve for safety reasons.
For closed wheel bolts, pry off the protective caps. Insert the key into the lock until it stops, so that the slot is parallel to the oval recess. Turn the wrench 90°and pull it together with the part.
Installation is in the reverse order. When pulling out the key, it is necessary to press the sleeve against the wheel bolt. Put on the protective cap.
a / b - wheel bolt galvanized / chrome-plated,
c - lockable wheel bolt, chrome-plated.
If present, remove the wheel bolt guard as follows: turn the cover slightly (1) wheel bolt wrench to the left and remove it. Then insert the adapter (3) into the wheel bolt (2) and unscrew the bolt.
Attention: The adapter must always be carried with you in the car.
Raise and support the vehicle.
Turn the wheel so that the valve (bottom arrow) was directed vertically downwards.
Before removing, mark the position of the disc relative to the hub so that the balanced wheel can then be installed in the same position.
Note: Depending on the wheel, different wheel bolts may be used. Be sure to use only bolts certified by the company.
When installing non-original light metal rims, the appropriate wheel bolts must be used instead of the original original wheel bolts. You should always carry a few spare wheel bolts with you.
Alloy wheels are coated with a transparent protective varnish for corrosion protection. When replacing a wheel, be careful not to damage it, and if this does happen, then restore the varnish layer.
Before installing the wheel, clean the centering seat of the disc for the hub and the contact surfaces of the disc from dirt and grease residues and lubricate them with a thin layer of protective grease.
Clean dirty bolts. Replace them if threads are damaged or corroded. Do not lubricate the threads of the wheel bolts.
Before putting on the disc, insert the locating pin into the top threaded hole. After screwing in a few wheel bolts, remove the adjusting pin.
Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise in several passes to 100 Nm.
Attention: Wheel bolts and/or wheel hubs can be deformed due to one-sided or uneven tightening of the wheel bolts. When installing new discs after the first 1000 km run, tighten the wheel bolts again to the required torque.
Wheel balancing
The wheels fitted to the vehicle are balanced at the factory. Balancing is necessary to compensate for uneven weight distribution and disc material inhomogeneity.
In motion, unbalanced wheels are determined by the ride and vibration of the car. At high speeds, the steering wheel starts to tremble.
As a rule, such trembling appears only in a certain range of speeds, and it disappears when the speed is increased or decreased.
This imbalance over time can lead to damage to the suspension joints, steering and shock absorbers.
Wheels should be balanced every 20,000 km and after tire repairs, as the weight distribution on the tires changes due to wear and repair.
