Tools

Preliminary work

ATTENTION: 
Increased risk of accidents if the wheel carrier is raised improperly!
^

Danger of injury and risk of damage to property.

^

Do not raise the wheel suspension higher than the normal vehicle position (vehicle resting on wheels).

^

When raising the suspension, use a suitable intermediate layer (hard rubber).

^

Do not damage the brake cover plate.

1. Loosen axle nuts (wheel-side drive shaft fastening). (Do not remove them!) This prevents the drive shaft from slipping out when removing the

wheel bearing housing. Actuate the brake while doing this.

2. Raise the vehicle.
