What are the techniques for removing wheel bolts?

Techniques for removing wheel bolts are as follows: 1. Use a socket one size smaller and tap it in. 2. Once loosened, pull out the wrench and replace the bolt. 3. After tapping it in, remember the position where force is applied; the pad must be raised to a horizontal position to remove the bolt. Preventing wheel bolts from being stuck: 1. To maximize safety and reliability, it is recommended to regularly inspect the wheel hub bearings regardless of the vehicle's age—watch for early warning signs of bearing wear, including any friction noise during rotation or abnormal deceleration of the suspension assembly during turns. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles, it is advised to lubricate the front wheel hub bearings after driving 38,000 kilometers. When replacing the braking system, inspect the bearings and replace the oil seals. 2. If you hear noise from the wheel hub bearing area, the first step is to identify the source. Many moving parts could generate noise, or it may be due to contact between rotating and non-rotating components. If the noise is confirmed to come from the bearing, the bearing may be damaged and require replacement.
