ROAD WHEELS

Remove

1. Loosen wheel nuts. Raise vehicle for wheel free

condition and remove the wheel nuts.

2. Mark the wheel to stud relationship to ensure

that the wheels are refitted in the same
orientation.

Refit

3. Apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to

wheel hub centre.

4. Refit wheels to original hub position.

NOTE: When refitting road wheel nuts do
not overtighten using powered tools.
Ensure the wheel nuts are correctly

torqued in the correct sequence.

Steel wheels - 100 Nm (80 lbf/ft)
Alloy wheels - 130 Nm (96 lbf/ft)
Heavy Duty wheels - 170 Nm (125 lbf/ft)

TYRE PRESSURES, CONDITION AND TREAD
DEPTH

1. Check for any apparent damage to tyres, paying

particular attention to side walls.

2. Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual

wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.

NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional
labour and/or material cost and should not

be carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.

3. Measure the tread depth across the width of the

tyre and around the circumference. Annotate the
maintenance check sheet with the lowest figure
obtained from each tyre.

NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres
should be advised to the customer before
any remedial work is carried out. This will

be subject to additional labour and/or material
cost and should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
