Wheel And Tire - Project 8 (G2247804): Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: The locking wheel nuts can be removed and installed using the special adapter only, provided in the tool kit.
NOTE:
  • This procedure contains some variation in the illustrations depending on the vehicle specification, but the essential information is always correct.
  • This procedure contains illustrations showing certain components removed to provide extra clarity.
  • This procedure contains illustrations for left side components, right side components are similar.
  • A code number is stamped onto the underside of the adapter. This number should be recorded in the Service Portfolio supplied with the vehicle literature pack. If a replacement adapter is required, this code number will be provided.
  • Not all vehicles have locking wheel nuts as standard parts.
  1. NOTE: Take extra care there are 2 versions of the wheel locking system available.
    • The locking wheel nut system used on Jaguar XE (X760) has been specifically engineered to meet stringent anti-theft standards.
    • Both the locking anti-theft nut and the locking anti-theft key have been purposely designed to be intolerant to abuse. This strategy should not be confused with the components being weak or sub-standard.
    • The anti-theft key has a hardened steel insert that is designed to collapse and render the key useless if it is forced onto the wrong anti-theft nut or is in the wrong orientation.
    • The anti-theft nut has a separate decorative cap, designed to spin and render the nut useless unless the correct key is fully engaged onto the nut body before torque is applied.
    • The most common reasons for the locking wheel nut system to fail are:
    • Ratchet, impact or percussion type power tools being used to install or remove the nut.
    • Attempted theft.
    • Over tightening.
    • The wrong key being hammered onto the locking nut.
    • The key not being fully engaged on the nut prior to installation or removal.
    • The key not being correctly aligned on the nut prior to installation or removal.
    • Presenting the key to the nut, with the key placed in an already spinning power tool.
