7 Clean any rust or dirt from the contact
surfaces between the wheel and brake
disc. Do not wipe away the grease in the
hub.

sequence shown (opposite pairs).
Tighten the studs enough for the studs
and wheel to be seated correctly.
See page 208 for sequence.

bolts to the correct torque in the
sequence shown (opposite pairs).

Light-alloy wheels: 80 ft.lbs
(110 Nm).Steel wheels: 80 ft.lbs

We advise against using wheels with open
wheel covers in winter, as the brake compo-
nents are then more exposed both to slush
and to road salt and grit.
Tire chains; see page 161.
NOTICE
When refitting wheel covers (where
applicable), make sure that the valve
protrudes through the marked hole in the
wheel cover.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten the bolts using
an
impact wrench
: not only can this damage
the wheels but it can also make it impos-
sible to undo the bolts using the wheel
wrench in the car’s toolkit.
Clean any rust or dirt from the contact sur-
faces between the wheel and brake disc. Do not wipe away the grease in the hub.
