WheelHanger.com is not liable for personal injury or damage to your vehicle with the use of the wheel hanger. Please follow the instructions carefuly.

In most european vehicles today, they do not have bolts that protrude from the rotors to make changing tires an easy task. In some high end luxury vehicles, the tires can weigh at least 60 pounds! 1. Park your vehicle in a flat location, and begin jacking up the vehicle. 2. When the vehicle is high enough, place a safety stand on the bottom frame. Lower the jack until the vehicle seats safely on the jack stands.

3. When removing bolts, you can use a powered impact gun. It's best to carefully remove the bolts with a four-way wrench or a socket on a breaker bar. An impact wrench may damage the bolts or destroy the threads in the bolt hole therefore you must do it slowly.

4. Remove wheel, and install the appropriate wheel hanger on the twelve o'clock position of the rotor. This will allow the tire to hang on to the wheel hanger. Hence the name, "Wheel Hanger" 5. When placing the tires back onto the rotors, use the wheel hanger to glide the wheel back into place. Make sure the five holes are aligned between the rim and the rotor. Remove your hands and watch the wheel hanger do its magic! 6. Re-install the bolts one by one using your fingers with a long impact socket. Remember to tighten the bolts in a star shaped format, never tighten them clockwise! Remove the wheel hanger and tighten all bolts to the manufacturers torque measurements. NEVER tighten the bolts with a impact gun, always do it by hand to prevent damage to the bolt hole threads. 7. Raise jack and remove the jack stands. Lower the jack and move it aside. Check the tire and pressure and add air if necessary.

Thats it! Imagine using this tool in the middle of a busy highway! Another great invention from WheelHanger.com!
