Drive a spare wheel in the necessary situation and combine openings in a wheel with bolts. After that lift a wheel and pass the top bolt throughout an opening. Shake a wheel and put on it other bolts (fig. 1.154).
Before installation of a wheel remove all rust from an assembly surface of a wheel by means of a wire brush or the similar tool. Lack of strong contact between metal surfaces at installation of wheels can lead to weakening of nuts of a wheel and to become the wheel detachment reason during the movement.
Establish all nuts of a wheel on the places and tighten them a hand.
