Wheels — removal and installation (Freelander 1)

Dismantling

1. Loosen the wheel nuts. Raise the vehicle on a lift until the wheels are off the floor and remove the wheel nuts.

2. Mark the position of the wheels relative to the studs so that the wheel is in the same position when installed.

Installation

1. Apply a thin layer of anti-seize paste to the seating surface of the hub.

2. Set the wheels to their original position.

NOTE: When installing the wheels in place, when tightening them, do not apply excessive torque to the wheel fasteners. Make sure the wheel nuts are tightened to rated torque and in the correct sequence.

3. Tighten the wheel nuts to a nominal torque of 115 Nm.
