Range Rover: Wheel changing
1. Read and observe the warnings in Wheel changing safety.
2. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel nut brace to slacken the wheel nuts
half a turn counter-clockwise.
3. Position the jack under the relevant jacking point under the chassis.
4. Turn the jack lever clockwise to raise the jack cradle until it engages with
the jacking point. Ensure that the base of the jack is in full contact with the
road surface.
5. Raise the vehicle using the jack with a slow steady operation. Avoid rapid, jerky
actions as they may cause the vehicle/jack to become unstable.
6. Remove the wheel nuts and place them together where they cannot roll away.
7. Remove the wheel and place to one side. Do not lay the wheel on its face, as
this may damage the finish.
8. Fit the spare wheel to the hub.
9. Re-fit the wheel nuts, and lightly tighten them. Ensure that the wheel is making
contact with the hub evenly.
10. Ensure that the space under the vehicle is clear of obstructions, and lower
the vehicle slowly and smoothly.
11. With all wheels on the ground and the jack removed, fully tighten the wheel
nuts. The wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence (see illustration) to the correct
torque of 98 lbf.ft (133 Nm).
Note: If it is not possible to torque the wheel nuts when a wheel is replaced, they should be set to the correct torque as soon as possible.
If an alloy spare wheel is to be fitted, using a suitable blunt tool, knock the center cap out of the removed wheel. Using hand pressure only, press the center cap into the newly fitted spare.
Check and adjust the tire pressure as soon as possible.
