Removing the Halfshaft Fixing Nut

Model: Renault Modus MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Tires

If you need to carry out maintenance on the front halfshafts or the front suspension, you must remove the fixing nut of the halfshaft located at the centre of the hub to free the halfshaft itself and gain more working space. This nut is tightened to a high torque for obvious reasons and features a thread deformation to prevent accidental loosening. It can be unscrewed using either a pneumatic wrench or a standard socket wrench connected to a suitable length lever: with the vehicle's wheel on the ground, insert the socket and apply your weight to the end of the lever.

How to Remove the Air Vents on an Alfa Romeo 159

This video shows how to remove the air vents on an Alfa Romeo 159. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located in the central dashboard; if you have difficulty, obtain metal hooks (as shown in the video) and insert them into the air vent. Once the two hooks are secured to the edges of the air vent, pull them out with your hands until the vent is removed from its housing. Repeat this procedure for the other air vents present on the car's dashboard. Finally, install the new vents.
