Emergency Information
Position the jack on firm level ground under the jacking
point nearest the wheel to be removed. Note that the
domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding
recess in the sill plate (see inset in illustration).
Turning the jack screw by hand, raise the jack until the jack
head fits snugly into the recess in the sill plate. Ensure that
the base of the jack is in full contact with the ground.
Changing the Spare Wheel
Always check tyre pressures after changing a
wheel.

your MG Authorised repairer as soon as
possible.
1 Before raising the car, use the Wheel bolt cap removal

bolt spanner to slacken each of the wheel bolts half a

2 Attach the two pieces jack handle to the jack as
shown in the diagram in the previous section. Turn
the handle in a clockwise direction until the tyre is
clear of the ground.
