The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily. Before putting
on the spare wheel, inspect the condition of the wheel and hub mounting
surfaces. These surfaces must be clean before mounting the wheel.
The hexagonal opening in the screwdriver handle makes it easier
to turn the wheel bolts when they are loose. The reversible screwdriver
blade should be removed when the tool is used for this purpose.

or tighten the wheel bolts.

discs*: Use a second mounting pin*
for the bottom hole (stored in the tool kit holder) following the same
procedure as described for the first mounting pin.
