● Work sequence
1 Place wheel chocks.
2 Jack up the front or rear axle using a garage jack placed under the center of the axle.
3 Support the frame on rigid racks.

WARNING–
• Chock the wheels securely so the vehicle does not move.
• Do not remove the chocks until the entire operation is completed.
• Supporting a vehicle on a garage jack only is extremely dangerous, so always support the frame on rigid
racks.
• Leave the garage jack and rigid racks in place until the entire operation is completed. Never remove them
during the operation.

● Work sequence after removal and installation

Follow the work sequence in reverse.

[Inspection]
If the measured value is higher than the limit, make corrections as
follows.

WHEEL AND TIRE
[Correction]
A
• Put chalk marks on tire 1, disc wheel 2, and hub bolt * (positions A as
illustrated).
• Remove tire 1 from disc wheel 2.
2

*
11391

• Measure deflection of disc wheel 2. If the most deflective position is

near the chalk mark, reinstall tire 1 rotating it half a turn from the chalk
mark and tighten nuts.
• Remeasure deflection of tire 1.
• If the measured value is still higher than the limit, replace tire 1 and
disc wheel 2 together as an assembly.
