Land Rover Discovery: Wheel changing
Before raising the vehicle, refer
to all warnings at the beginning
of this section of the Owner's
Handbook.
Before changing a wheel, read and
observe the warnings
If your vehicle is fitted with side
steps or tubes, DO NOT use them
as jacking points.
Note: Your vehicle may be fitted with a
tilt sensor, which activates the alarm if the
vehicle is tilted in any direction after it has
been locked. To lock the doors while
changing the wheel, and avoid the alarm
activating, the tilt sensor can be
temporarily disabled.
- Before raising the vehicle, use the
wheel nut brace to slacken the wheel
nuts of the wheel to be replaced, by
half a turn counter-clockwise.
- Locate the jack under the relevant
jacking point.
Note: Do not allow the jack to contact
the sill at any other point, as damage
may result.
- Unfold the cranking handle from its
stowed position on the jack. Fit the
wheel nut brace to the end of the
cranking lever.
- Rotate the handle clockwise to raise
the jack until the jack, pin locates into
the jacking point.
- Raise the vehicle until the wheel is
clear of the ground.
- Remove the wheel nuts and place
them together where they cannot roll
away.
- Remove the wheel and place it to one
side. Do not lay the wheel on its face,
as this may damage the finish.
- Fit the temporary spare wheel to the
hub.
- Re-fit the wheel nuts and lightly
tighten them. Make sure the wheel is
making contact with the hub evenly.
- Make sure the space under the vehicle
is clear of obstructions before lowering
the vehicle slowly and smoothly.
- With all of the wheels on the ground
and the jack removed, fully tighten the
wheel nuts. The wheel nuts must be
tightened in sequence (see the
illustration below) to the correct torque
of 133 Nm.
Note: If it is not possible to torque the
wheel nuts when a wheel is replaced, they
should be set to the correct torque as
soon as possible.
Check and adjust the tyre pressure as soon
as possible.
