5.10.3. TYRE ROTATION:

To maintain equal & uniform wear, rotate tyres as

per fig 88a & 88b, according to service schedule or

earlier depending on the operating condition of car

and wear pattern. Ensure correct recommended

tyre pressure is maintained.

NOTE:

Due to their design, radial tyres tend to wear faster

the shoulder area, particularly in front positions.

This makes regular rotation necessary. Do not use

spare steel wheel rim for tyre rotation, when vehicle

is fitted with alloy wheel rims.

FIG. 88a

5.10.4. WHEEL REMOVAL:

1.Loosen wheel bolts (M12 x 1.5) by approximately

180 deg (half a rotation)

2.Lift the vehicle using two post lift.

3.Remove bolts and then wheel. Wheel bolts must

be tightened in sequence given in Fig 89 and to

proper torque to avoid bending wheel or brake

disc.

FIG. 89

NOTE:

Clean all parts and remove any buildup of

corrosion of any parts, before installation of the

wheel.

2.Never heat any part to loosen tight wheel, it will

shorten life of wheel.

5.10.5 TYRE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING:

Use a tyre changing machine to mount or demount

tyres.

equipment

manufacturer’s

instructions.

Do not use hand tools or tyre irons alone to change

tyres as they may damage tyre beads or wheel rim.

Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire

brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants,

old rubber, and light rust.

After mounting, inflate to specified pressure so that

beads are completely sealed.

WARNING:

Do not stand over tyre when inflating. Bead may

break when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump

and cause serious personal injury.

Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating.

the beads will not seat at the manufacturer's

maximum bead seating pressure, deflate, re-

lubricate and reinflate.

Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
