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 reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
