pg. 69 Wheel changing
Place the jack in the jack attachment closest to the wheel to be changed. There is one jack attachment at
each wheel.
As shown, there are two types of jacks, one for the 264 and one for the 265.
Make sure the jack arm is properly inserted in the attachment, as shown above.
Lift the vehicle until the wheel is free from the ground.
Remove the wheel nuts and lift of the wheel. Be careful no to damage the wheel bolt threads.
NOTE:
Do not rotate a raised rear wheel if the car is equipped with a limited slip differential. This will
also move the opposite wheel on the ground and the car may slide off the jack.

the end of the car being worked on.
