2. Remove the appropriate wheel.
3. Using a screwdriver, remove the protective cap from the wheel hub; it must be replaced.
4. The hub nut is tightened with very great force. It is recommended to install the wheels and lower the car to the ground before loosening/tightening the nut - ask an assistant to press the foot brake pedal. If this operation is carried out on a raised car, a special lever must be attached to the hub using the wheel bolts to prevent it from turning (see accompanying illustration).
4.4 Loosening the hub nut
Note: If necessary, the lever can be made independently.
5. Loosen the hub nut and remove the nut from the drive shaft journal; if necessary, separate the lever from the hub.
6. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. When installing, it is necessary to use only new self-locking hub nuts. Tightening of the nut is carried out in 3 stages - after the first approach, the nut must be loosened by about 45°, and then tightened with the required force (see Specifications). Don't forget to install a new protective cap.
