1997 Volvo 850
Jack attachment
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the
attachment as shown in illustration A above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack
to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the
car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment . Raise the vehicle until both wheels
on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts
completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that
you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts
crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and
alternately tighten the nuts to 81 ft. lbs. (110 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
