(b)Slacken off the wheel bolts on the
wheel to be changed.
(c)Jack up the caravan with the jack
under either the axle tube or the axle
mounting plate.
DO NOT USE THE CHASSIS AS A
JACKING POINT.
If there is lack of ground clearance
because of a flat tyre, gently move the
caravan onto some ramping boards.
(d)Support the weight of the caravan on
axle stands or ramping boards. Lower
the corner steadies.
(e)Remove the wheel bolts and remove
the redundant wheel.
Before fitting a new wheel, examine it for
distortion or other damage. Ensure that all
mating surfaces are clean and dry,
including bolt/nut seats.
ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT BOLTS
TO SECURE THE WHEEL.
A corner steady brace is not to be used
for the next step.
(f) Fit the new wheel and refit the wheel
bolts.
After the bolts have been screwed in as
far as possible by hand, each bolt
should be tightened gradually in
sequence. The wheels of the trailer will
not rotate during tightening as they are
held by rigid by the wheel hub brake
unit.
For 5 stud caravans wheel bolts should be
tightened in a similar order as for 4 stud
ensuring that the torque is applied evenly
around the wheel.
Using an or suitable socket wrench,
sequentially tighten the steel bolts to a
torque of 92NM following the procedure
shown above. Should alloy wheels be
fitted, the steel bolts need to be tightened
to 115NM.
(g)Raise the corner steadies. Take the
weight of the caravan onto the jack and
remove the axle stands or ramping
boards.
(h)Lower the caravan to the ground.
The torque settings should be
rechecked after the first 50 km (20
miles) of use, and every 5000 km (3100
miles) thereafter.
NB: If you upgrade fromsteel to alloy
wheels you must ensure you use the
correct bolts for the new wheel.
