previous page
2. Prevent the car from rolling away:
Place the wheel chock behind the
front wheel on the side opposite to
where the wheel is to be removed (or
in front of the front wheel on a down-
hill gradient). If the car cannot be
moved to a point on a less severe
gradient, you must protect it reliably
against rolling away

are
installed: reach into the vent holes
and pull the cover off

adapter on the wheel stud cover,
attach the wheel stud wrench and
press to the left (see illustration)
5. If hub covers
*
are fitted: lever off the
cover by inserting a screwdriver
blade into the slot. For thiefproof
wheel studs, see page 170

1/2 turn
