1992 Volvo 240
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that
you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel nuts
clockwise and tighten lightly. The bevelled side of each nut should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to
the ground and alternately torque the nuts to 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm). Install the wheel cap.
pg. 97 Wheel changing (cont.)
Using the jack
The spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stored in the trunk. On the wagon models the jack and crank
should be secured according to the above illustration to avoid any disturbing rattle. Make sure that the
spare wheel is secured.
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each wheel location. Hang the jack from the attachment (alt. 1) or
position the jack on the bar in the jack attachment (alt. 2) as shown in the illustrations above and crank
while simultaneously guiding the the base to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on the ground.
Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment. Now raise the
vehicle until the wheel is free of the ground. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and carefully remove
the wheel so as not to damage the thread of the studs.
