Fitting the wheel.
Fitting the wheel.
–  Check whether the wheel bolts can be easily tightened by hand. When fitting the wheel, the thread of the nuts should turn easily along the whole length of the nut.
–  Ensure that the hub thread coincides. The thread of the wheel nuts should not come into contact with the brake disc opening.
If the thread of the wheel bolt touches the opening, turn the brake disc as necessary.
–  Fit the wheel to the hub and secure by hand-tightening two bolts in opposite positions.
–  Screw in the remainder of the bolts by hand; the bolts should be easily screwed into place.
Ensure that the wheel is perfectly centred.
–  Hand tighten the wheel nuts evenly.
   
–  Tighten the bolts alternating diagonally to 50 Nm.
  Note
Never use a percussion screwdriver for fitting wheels.
–  Lower the vehicle and tighten the nuts in diagonal pairs to the specified torques → Chapter.
