Land Rover Discovery: Using wheel chocks
Note: Not all vehicles have wheel chocks
supplied as part of the tool kit.
Wheel chocks are a useful addition to a
vehicle's tool kit. Note the following
advice when using wheel chocks:
- Before raising the vehicle, the
wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be removed must be
chocked.
- Always chock the wheels using
suitable wheel chocks. Place the
chocks on both sides of the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
- If jacking the vehicle on a slight
slope is unavoidable, place the
chocks on the downhill side of
both wheels on the axle not being
raised.
LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
Do not use air tools or power tools
to remove or to re-fit the locking
wheel nut. Doing so may damage
the locking wheel nut or the
adaptor.
Locking wheel nuts can be removed and
installed using only the special adaptor
provided.
Note: A code number is stamped onto
the underside of the adaptor. This number
should be recorded in the service book,
supplied with the literature pack. If a
replacement adaptor is required, you will
be asked to quote this number.

To release:
- Insert the wheel nut adaptor into the
locking wheel nut, making sure that it
is fully engaged.
- Locate the wheel brace over the
adaptor and unscrew the wheel nut
half a turn counter-clockwise.
- After raising the vehicle on the jack,
remove the locking wheel nut.
Note: When the vehicle is first supplied,
the wheel nut adaptor may be stored in
the glovebox. If this is the case, the wheel
nut adaptor must be moved to its correct
storage position in the loadspace, as soon
as possible.
