3.16.1. Wheel replacement

Prevention Be attentive at replacement of the punctured wheel. Probably, it was punctured by malefactors to steal valuable things from car salon when you are occupied with its replacement.

1. Open a luggage carrier (in it there is all necessary for wheel replacement) and cast away a trunk floor rug (or raise its back part).	2. Turn on and remove a clamp of a spare wheel.

3. Take out a spare wheel from a luggage carrier and put it near a replaced wheel.

4. Include the I transfer and the parking brake. Establish a jack under the car near a wheel which it is necessary to replace (see. «Jack use»).

Good advice Not to be soiled at wheel replacement, put on gloves and overalls if they are in your car.

5. From the opposite side the car needs to be fixed, having enclosed under forward and back wheels a protivootkatny emphasis so that the lifted car could not be displaced forward or back.

6. By means of a jack slightly raise the car but so that the wheel demanding replacement, did not come off the road. Ballonnym a key weaken five nuts of fastening of a wheel.

Good advice In order that it was easier to unscrew wheel nuts, it is possible to use not hands, and a foot, coming from above on the handle of a ballonny key. For simplification of an otvorachivaniye of nuts we recommend to get a special ballonny natural the telescopic handle. It is convenient to work and a ballonny key of a crosswise form.

7. Lift a jack the car so that the wheel came off the road then completely unscrew nuts and remove a wheel.

Preventions Try, that the car as little as possible time was in the hung-out condition with the removed wheel. Raise the car a jack only on the height necessary for removal and installation of a wheel. If work at soft soil, enclose under the jack basis a thick board. Do not apply to this purpose bricks: they easily break up and the car can break from a jack, having hard injured you.

8. Establish a spare wheel to the place of removed, screw fixing nuts against the stop, but do not tighten them.

Prevention Screwing nuts, track that their konusny parts were combined with konusny surfaces of openings in a wheel disk, differently during movement of a nut will weaken and wheel loss is possible.

9. Lower the car and finally tighten nuts. Tighten wheel nuts through one on a circle. In order to avoid damage of a disk of a wheel do not try to "hold on" a nut of fastening of a wheel, pressing a foot the key handle.

Good advice To feel necessary effort of an inhaling of nuts of fastening of a wheel (the moment of an inhaling of 130 N · м), at first apply a dinamometrichesky key. Do not grease a fastening nut — it can lead to their samootvorachivaniye during car movement.

10. Establish a decorative cap.

11. Before continuing movement, surely check pressure of air in the tire of the established wheel.

Good advice On the car tubeless tires are established. If you have not enough skills of installation of tires, we advise not to try to perform this work independently. One damage боковины — also it is necessary to buy the new tire or to insert the chamber. In a desperate situation it is possible to use the special first-aid kit for repair of tubeless tires without a razbortovka or hermetic for tires. To apply them it is necessary according to the enclosed instruction. Than the tubeless tire is better chamber? First, tubeless at a puncture lowers very slowly: it is possible, pumping up, for weeks to go with a nail in a wheel, there will be no yet a possibility it to repair. Secondly, when at very considerable run from the tubeless tire metal cord delays will start to act, it still can be used as a spare wheel. The chamber into such tire to insert it is useless: she will make a mistake already at the first inflating.
