Never
try and use the hexagonal socket in the handle of the
screwdriver
to loosen
or tighten
the
wheel bolts.
•
If
a wheel bolt sits very tight, you may find it easier to loosen by
carefully
pushing down on the end
of
the wheel bolt wrench with
one foot only
.
As you do, hold on to the car to keep yourself stable
and take care not to
slip.
•

vehicle must
be
lifted with the jack first
before the
wheel
can be removed.
