1989 Volvo 780
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each wheel location. Hang the jack from the attachment as shown
in the illustration and crank while simultaneously guiding the base to the ground. Before raising the car
check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.
Now raise the vehicle until the wheel is free from the ground. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and
carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread of the studs.
WARNING!
The jack's hook must engage the pin in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on
top of the jack's hook (B).
Be sure the jack is on firm and level ground.
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.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that
you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel nuts
clockwise and tighten lightly. The bevelled side of the nuts should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to
the ground and alternately tighten the nuts to 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm). Install the wheel cap.
