Loosening Wheel Bolts
Loosening wheel bolts
Use a suitable box spanner to loosen the wheel bolts.
Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximately one turn before raising the vehicle with the jack.
- Fit the box spanner over the wheel bolt as far as it will go.
- Hold the end of the box spanner and turn the wheel bolt one turn anticlockwise.
If one of the wheel bolts is very tight, you may be able to loosen it by pushing down the end of the box spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and ensure that you have a secure footing.
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are removed or undone by more than one turn before the vehicle is raised with the jack, the wheel can fall off and the vehicle could tip as a result. This can cause serious injuries.
- Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximately one turn before raising the vehicle with the jack.
- Never place any part of your body, e.g. your arm, underneath the vehicle while you are loosening the wheel bolts.
