Removing Wheel
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
Removing/fitting wheels
- Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
- Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
- Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.
Information
- Use assembly aids (threaded pin for mounting wheel) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc! The assembly aids (threaded pins for mounting wheel) should be obtained via the Porsche parts service (Part No. 999.571.074.30)!
- For vehicles with a Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM), every new set of wheels or wheel change must be communicated to the control unit (even if the new wheels have the same specifications as the old ones). To do this, select >>Tire pressure, Settings, Tire type and Tire size<< in the main menu on the instrument cluster and confirm your selection. The control unit then stores these values while the vehicle is driving (at more than 25 km/h (16 mph)). The current tire pressure is not available during this time.
- The wheel mounting trolley can be used to make mounting easier, see Workshop Equipment Manual, Chapter 3.4.2.
