NOTICE
• Do not overtighten the bolts using a
impact wrench: not only can this
damage the wheels but it can also
make it impossible to undo the bolts
using the wheel wrench in the car's
toolkit.
• When refitting a wheel cover, make
sure that the valve protrudes through
the marked recess in the wheel cover.
Clean any rust or dirt from the contact sur-
faces between the wheel and brake disc.
7 Retighten the wheel bolts after twenty or
so miles.
Tightening torque:
Light-alloy wheels: 80 ft.lb. (110 Nm).
Steel wheels: 80 ft.lb. (110 Nm).
We advise against using wheels with large
ventilation slots in winter, as the brake com-
ponents are then more exposed to slush,
road salt and grit.
If you fit wheels of a different dimension, the
speedometer can be reprogrammed to
ensure it is as accurate as possible. Contact
a Saab dealer.
