1989 Volvo 740
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same
location as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide
stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to
winter tires/wheels).
pg. 72 Wheel changing
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each wheel location. Hang the jack from the attachment as shown
in the illustration and crank while simultaneously guiding the base to the ground. Before raising the car
check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.
Now raise the vehicle until the wheel is free from the ground. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and
carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread of the studs.
WARNING!
●
The jack's hook must engage the pin in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on
the jack's hook (B).
●
Be sure the jack is on firm and level ground.
●
Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
●
Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support
the end of the car being worked on.
●
Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission), or 1st gear or reverse on
manual transmission.
●
Block the wheels standing on the ground. Use rigid wooded blocks or large stones.
●
The jack should be kept well-greased.
