REMOVING
1. Lever off the hub cap with the help of
the spade shaped lever.

the help of a socket wrench. All the
wheels have right hand thread nuts
which can be loosened by turning in
an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Place the jack in the jack recess
nearest to the wheel that is to be
lifted up. Lift the side of the car so
high that the wheel is clear off the
ground.
4. Remove the wheel nuts completely
and lift off the wheel. Be careful when
lifting up the wheel, so as not to
damage the thread on the wheel
bolts.

nuts. The lower the car and finally
tighten the nuts. Tighten the nuts
alternately.

Body
33 Washing
When the car is new it should be washed often to harden the surface finish.
Otherwise the car should be washed as soon as it is dirty or dusty. If dirt and dust are
allowed to be in contact with the surface finish for a length of time, damage can
result.
While the car is being washed it should stand so that it is not in direct sunshine since
otherwise drying patches can result. First rinse off the underside of the body with a
jet of water and use a soft brush if necessary. Then rinse down the whole body with a
light jet until the dirt has softened up. Don not be sparing with the water. The dirt is
then washed off with a sponge using plenty of water.
If washing with water alone is not sufficient, washing agents can be used. Be careful
when choosing a washing agent since some of them can be detrimental to the
surface finish.
