How to remove the spare wheel on the Renault Trafic (Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro and Nissan Primastar)

Model: Renault Trafic MK 2 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Wheel

In this video we can see how to remove the spare wheel from the Renault Trafic (but also from Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro and Nissan Primastar). The wheel, in order not to take up space in the cargo area - which is particularly important for a commercial vehicle - is located under the vehicle, and is supported by two shaped iron bars, fixed by two bolts and two hooks. Naturally, both the bars and the bolts will be covered in mud. Therefore, we must free the bolts from the worst dirt before removing them with an electric drill and sliding the wheel down, as if it were a sled. In this case, the spare wheel itself needs to be replaced, because the codes stamped on it indicate that it was produced in the 36th week of 2003.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
