Things to consider
• Park the vehicle on a firm and stable surface.
• Use a floor jack which can support the weight of the vehicle by a good margin.
• Support the vehicle on axle stands if you need to go under the vehicle for any reason.
• Never place any body part under a vehicle that is only being supported by floor jacks.
• Some vehicles may have different threads on the wheel nuts on the right- and
left-hand sides of the vehicle respectively. Check this before loosening the nuts in
order to avoid accidentally tightening them.
• Screw on the wheel nuts/bolts by hand, using at least 3 complete rotations in
order to prevent possible thread damage when tightening with the impact wrench.
Loosening the wheel nuts/bolts
1. Attach an impact socket which fits exactly
onto the head of the screw/bolt or nut
which you want to undo onto the anvil of the
impact wrench (1). Use a hexagon impact
socket.
2. Fit the socket fully over the nut/bolt you wish
to loosen.
3. Hold the impact wrench firmly with one hand
around the front part of the tool, hold the
handle (7) with the other hand.
4. Press in the selector (6) for anticlockwise
rotation of the socket (to loosen the bolt).
Note:
Do not use the impact wrench for
more than 15 seconds at a time in the same
direction if the nut/bolt does not loosen. If the
nut/bolt does not come undone:
-
Change the direction of rotation using
the selector (6) and drive the impact
wrench in the opposite direction for a
couple of seconds.
-
Switch the direction of rotation back
again and run the wrench in the original
direction.
