How to Remove the Front Wheel of a Haval H2?
4 Answers
The method for removing the front wheel of a Haval H2 is as follows: 1. Secure the tire by using wheel chocks in a diagonal pattern - chock the rear wheels when lifting the front and vice versa; 2. Use the wheel bolt decorative cap removal tool included with the vehicle to take out the decorative caps; 3. Loosen the nuts slightly by turning the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise (about one turn); 4. Raise the vehicle using the jack by turning it clockwise until the tire slightly leaves the ground; 5. Remove all fixing nuts and take off the tire. The Haval H2 is a compact SUV launched by the Haval brand under Great Wall Motors, with body dimensions of 4335mm in length, 1814mm in width, 1695mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2560mm.
I've always been passionate about DIY car repairs, and removing the front wheels of a Haval H2 is actually quite interesting. First, park the car on a flat surface, engage the handbrake, and use bricks or wheel chocks to secure the rear wheels to prevent slipping. Then, use a wrench to loosen the front wheel nuts by half a turn, but don't remove them completely. Next, position the jack under the front suspension's lifting point and slowly raise the car until the front wheels are off the ground. Remove all the nuts, take off the old tire, and take the opportunity to check the brake disc for wear. When installing the new wheel, first tighten the nuts by hand, then lower the car and use a torque wrench to tighten them to about 110 Newton meters—don't over-tighten to avoid damaging the bolts. The process is simple but requires patience; with the right tools, it can be done in half an hour, and you'll learn a lot in the process. Remember to measure the tread depth regularly when rotating tires to maintain vehicle balance.
Having worked with cars for so many years, the key to removing the front wheels of a Haval H2 lies in the details and safety. Park on a level surface, engage the handbrake, and chock the wheels to prevent rolling. Loosen the nuts with a wrench but don't remove them. When using a jack to lift the car, locate the lifting points under the front axle accurately to maintain stability. After removing the wheels, inspect the bearings and hubs to avoid overlooking hidden issues. Use standard socket wrenches for the job, and set the torque wrench to 110Nm for tightening the nuts—excessive torque can damage the threads. Common issues include unstable lifting leading to accidents or unevenly tightened nuts causing driving hazards. It's recommended to clean bolt rust during each maintenance to extend service life. Don't forget to recheck after driving to ensure everything is safe and secure.
As a beginner, I was quite nervous the first time I removed the front wheel of my Haval H2, but following the steps made it smooth. Park on level ground, engage the handbrake, and chock the rear wheels. Use a wrench to loosen the nuts halfway. Slowly jack up the car at the suspension point and stop once the front wheel is off the ground. After removing the nuts and taking off the tire, it's a good chance to check for wear. When reinstalling, hand-tighten the nuts first, then use a torque wrench to secure them after lowering the car. Don't rush the process, and having someone assist is safer. With a few practices, you'll get the hang of it quickly—saving money and preventing blowout risks. Regularly checking tire pressure and tread is key.
