General information
General information on wheel bolts
Information
A higher tightening torque for wheel bolts than the tightening torque for wheels specified in the Driver's Manual is used in After Sales Service.
This offsets the settling behavior in wheel bolts following the combined installation of new parts (wheel hub, brake disc, disc wheel).
The higher tightening torque is generally always used in After Sales Service.
*
Always observe the specified higher tightening torque of 180 Nm (133 ftlb.)!
1. Use suitable commercially available tools (wrench size 19 mm). Never use an impact bolter to tighten the wheel bolts.
2. Only original Panamera wheel bolts should be used.
3. The wheel bolt consists of two parts that are permanently joined together.
4. Wheel bolts must never be reworked.
5. Always replace damaged wheel bolts.
6. This damage includes mechanical damage to the thread, the spherical cap and damage resulting from seizure of the bolt head bearing surface and
spherical cap ring! It must be possible to rotate the spherical cap ring on the bolt shank and to move it in axial direction.
7. The wheel bolts and security wheel bolts must never be greased.
-A- - Spherical cap ring (permanently connected to the wheel bolt)
-X- - Spherical cap bearing surface facing the wheel (do not grease)
Wheel bolt
-Arrows- - Spherical cap bearing surface facing the bolt head (do not grease)

Removing wheel
NOTICE
Removing/fitting wheels
*
Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
-> Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
-> Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.
Information
*
Use assembly aids (threaded pin for mounting wheel) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc! The
assembly aids (threaded pins for mounting wheel) should be obtained via the Porsche parts service (Part No. 999.571.074.30)!
