Changing A Wheel - Volvo S90 Operation Manual

1998 Volvo S90

Changing a wheel

On sedans the spare wheel, jack and toolbag are located in the trunk, beneath the carpet. The jack must be completely retracted to fit into the holder.
On wagons, the spare tire and the jack are located beneath the floor mat in the large storage bin. Always secure the spare tire and the jack to prevent them from rattling.
Remove the wheel cap, using the screwdriver in the tool kit.
With the car still on the ground, use the box wrench from the tool kit to loosen the wheel nuts 1/2 - 1 turn. Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen.
NOTE:
To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each
wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

WARNING!
The jack attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack's attachment (B).
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the end of the car being worked
on.
Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission).
Block the wheels standing on the ground. Use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
The jack should be kept well-greased.
