Volvo 1991 240 Model
Installation
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 each nut should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to
the ground and alternately torque the nuts to 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm). Install the wheel cap.
pg. 97 Wheel changing
Using the jack
The spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stored in the trunk. On the wagon models the jack and crank
should be secured according to the above illustration to avoid any disturbing rattle. Make sure that the
spare wheel is secured.
Before using the jack make sure the car is standing on firm, level ground. Apply the parking brake and
place the transmission in either first or reverse gear. If equipped with automatic transmission place the
selector lever in position P. Block the wheels standing on the ground with wooden blocks or large
stones.
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each side 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.
