Pic. 2.15. Schemes for rearranging wheels with radial (A) and diagonal (b) tires
Rearrange the wheels according to the schemes shown in fig. 2.15, in accordance with the maintenance schedule or in case of uneven tire wear.
The wheels should rotate in the same direction during the swap as they did before the swap.
If you also need to check the brakes, do not apply the parking brake. Make sure the wheels are chocked to prevent the vehicle from moving.
To change the wheels, it is better to lift the entire car with a lift or jack up each side in turn and then lower it onto stands located under the chassis beams. Always use four stands and make sure the vehicle is securely anchored.
After rearranging the wheels, check the pressure in the tires, if necessary, bring it to normal. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts.
