Wheel Removal
Slacken the wheel nuts, jack the car up until the wheel is clear of the
ground, remove the nuts and withdraw the wheel.
Inspection
Clean the rim and examine the rivets or welds securing the rim to the
centre. Minor damage to the rim may be repaired provided that it is
confined to the flange tip area.
Refitting
Wheel nuts must be fitted with the tapered side towards the wheel
and tightened to 6.91-7.6 kg/m (50-55 lb/ft)
Valves and caps
When checking tyre pressures always ensure that the dust cap is
replaced on the valve and tightened down firmly by hand only. The
cap prevents the ingress of dirt and acts as an extra barrier against
leakage should the valve fail. New valve cores can be fitted using a
valve coring tool (Figure 3).
When replacing a tyre, a new tubeless valve complete should also be
fitted.
Wheel and tyre balance
Unbalance in wheel and tyre assemblies will be responsible for various
effects such as wheel wobble, abnormal war of tyres and suspension
components, vibration through the steering or, in extreme cases the
whole vehicle.
Figure 3 Valve fitting tool
Wheels should be balanced when new tyres are fitted. This can be
done statically but all tyre suppliers should have a dynamic balancing
machine. Failing to have the wheels balanced is false economy as the
tyre life will be noticeably better with the wheels balanced.
