Operation step 3

	Removing
	Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between columns of vehicle lift and position four support plates at vehicle lift support points specified by vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
1	Hoist vehicle with lifting platform until wheels are free		AR00.60-P-1000V
2	Pull off wheel covers	Vehicles with wheel covers
3	Unscrew wheel bolts and remove wheel-and-tire assemblies		*199589010900
	Measure
4	Measure depth of tread of all tires and note measured values on the maintenance sheet	Model 171	AP40.10-P-4051Z

5	Check tires for signs of damage and make sure that they are in good condition	Model 171	AP40.10-P-4051Z
		Model 172	AP40.10-P-4051EW
	Information on tires/rims		AH40.10-P-9411-01A
6	Check wheel bolts	The round contact shoulders on the lug bolts must be free of oil and grease. Bolts with damaged threads, worn zinc plating on the radius seat or corroded radius seat must be replaced, otherwise they may shear off.
7	Check rims	Check for: Dirt to ensure that radius seats are free of oil and grease Damage to centering, radius seats and rim flanges Corrosion of wheel contact surface
8	Check wheel hub, wheel bolt thread and wheel contact surfaces for contamination and corrosion	Contaminated or corroded wheel bolt thread must be cleaned or recut. Remaining contaminants or corrosion in the thread prevent the necessary preload force of the wheel bolt from being reached, despite the specified torque being reached. If the thread is damaged, replace the wheel hub. Clean corroded surfaces with a wire brush or emery cloth.
	Install
9	Apply corrosion protection to wheel hubs and wheel contact surfaces (crosshatched area)	Long-life grease	*BR00.45-Z-1001-06A
10	Change round wheel-and-tire assemblies on front and rear axles	As required, and only on vehicles without mixed tires Retain running direction of wheel-and-tire assemblies, as otherwise handling performances and comfort may be impaired and tire wear increased.
11	Slide on wheel-and-tire assemblies, and tighten the wheel bolts	Observe the tightening sequence (1 to 5).
