3 Never jack up a vehicle without blocking wheels
7. Why should safety stands be placed under a raised vehicle?
Safety stands should be placed under a raised vehicle to provide stability to vehicle. Safety stands are
helpful in providing support to vehicle and less chances of risk. If safety stands are not placed under a
raised vehicle, then people have been crushed to death. Bricks should not be used and timber blocks as
alternative for support stand.

☒ True or ☐ False
Fill in the Gaps
11. Complete the following statement about working with high air pressure using the following words.
Words: Air, Anyone, Connections, Eyes, Glasses, Pneumatic, Tools, Workbench
Tools that use compressed air are called Pneumatic tools. Compressed air is used to inflate tyres, apply
paint, and drive tools, such as air ratchets and impact wrenches. Pneumatic tools must always be operated
at the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Before using a pneumatic tool, check all hose
Connections for leaks and the air line for damage.
When using an air nozzle, wear safety glasses and/or a face shield. Particles of dirt and pieces of metal,
blown by the high-pressure air, can penetrate your skin or get into your eyes. Always hold an air nozzle
securely when starting or shutting off the compressed air. A loose nozzle can whip suddenly and cause
serious injury. Never point an air nozzle at anyone. Never use compressed air to blow dirt from your
clothes or hair or use compressed air to clean the floor or workbench.
True of False
12. Impact wrenches should not be used to tighten critical parts or parts that may be damaged by the
hammering force of the wrench.
☒ True or ☐ False
True of False
13. When using an impact wrench, it is important that only impact sockets and adapters be used. Other types of
sockets and adapters, if used, might shatter and fly off, endangering the safety of the operator and others in
the immediate area.
☒ True or ☐ False

Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answers
14. What are some of the possible hazards when interacting with split rim and multi-piece wheel assemblies?
A. Incorrectly fitted rim parts.
B. Damaged or mismatched rim parts.
C. Damaged wheels e.g. pitting by corrosion, wear, deformations and cracks.
D. Defects on new and used tyres.
E. Confusing wheel assembly bolts with securing bolts to attach wheel to vehicle.
F. Incorrect wheel alignment settings.
G. Tyre over inflation.
H. A heavy spot in the centre of the tread will procedure static unbalance and cause the wheel to move up
and down.
I. Deflating tyres as the first step in inspection and removal from the vehicle.
J. Providing a tyre inflation chamber where the inflation will not commence until the operator has left and
the chamber door is shut and locked.
15. What three (3) materials are used to construct wheels?
1 Aluminium and steel
2 Rubber
3 Multiple metals
16. Name the six [6] parts of the wheel assembly below.
1 Mounting holes
2 Centre cap
3 Rim
4 Drop centre action
5 Spider (centre section)
6 The bead area
17. Why do wheels have a drop centre area.
Wheels have a drop centre area because it helps installer to mount tire inside tool. There is an inner section
of wheel that has a space in centre and helps in facilitating tire replacement. It prevents tubeless tyre from

AURLTJ013 Remove, inspect and refit light vehicle wheel and tyre assemblies
rolling off the rim. Drop centre area controls inside and outside tools so that chances of risk can be reduced.
18. What is wheel offset?
Wheel offset refers to distance between hub mounting surface and centre line of wheel. It is measured in
millimetres and result can be positive, negative or zero. Result of offset has different meaning like, positive offset
means hub- mounting surface is close to wheel whereas negative offset means it is close to inboard side.
19. Explain why wheel offset is important?
Wheel offset is important because it helps in assuring new packages which has enough clearance. Wheel
Offset is important for driving safely, wrong offset helps in reducing vehicle stability. It is important to get right wheel
Offset to avoid accident. Wrong offset can create problems with suspension, brakes and body parts.
True of False
20. Wheels are made of either stamped or pressed steel discs riveted or welded into a circular shape or are
diecast or forged aluminium or magnesium rim.
☒ True or ☐ False
Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answers
21. Why are lightweight aluminium wheels superior to heavier stamped steel wheels?
A. Their lower unsprung weight improves handling.
B. They help improve fuel economy.
C. They improve traction.
D. They provide no benefit to the vehicle other than cosmetic.
22. How is the wheel assembly secured to the vehicle?
Wheel assembly is secured to the vehicle as wheel studs are holding wheels of many automobiles. Wheel
assembly help in securing vehicle because studs remain in hub. A wheel has inner and outer rim which
hold tyre. Wheel assembly secures vehicle as it handles all the parts of vehicle and ensures safety.

AURLTJ013 Remove, inspect and refit light vehicle wheel and tyre assemblies
True of False
23. The wheel is bolted to a hub, either by bolts that pass through the wheel and thread into the hub, or by
studs that protrude from the hub. In the case of studs, special nuts are required.
☐ True or ☒ False
True of False
24. A few vehicles have left-hand threads (which turn counter clockwise to tighten) on the driver’s side and
right-hand threads (which turn clockwise to tighten) on the passenger’s side. All other vehicles use right-
hand threads on both sides.
☒ True or ☐ False
25. Name three (3) category types of run-flat tyres?
1 Auxiliary supported run flat tyres
2 Self – sealing run flat tyres
3 Self – supporting run flat tyres
26. Explain how three (3) category types of run-flat tyres work?
Three category types of run- flat tyres help in supporting vehicle in event of air loss. Run flat tyres construct sidewall
Which supports vehicle. Run flat tyres have a reinforced sidewall means they stay rigid or hard without any air
Pressure. The sidewall are covered with rubber in place with no air. Auxiliary run flat tyres has an inner ring which is
Secured against wheel. Rim is like a hard band of rubber which supports vehicle’s weight in event of air loss.
Self- sealing flat tyres support vehicle if it gets punctured. It tires plug up hole after tyre is punctured, sidewall stays
On rim. When tyres are punctured then sidewall support weight of vehicle and cope with driving.
Run flat tyres are designed to support tyre when it gets punctured or at the time of loss of air. This helps in
Preventing sidewall from being crushed and tyre from slipping.

AURLTJ013 Remove, inspect and refit light vehicle wheel and tyre assemblies
True of False
27. Tyres should also be checked frequently for cuts, stone bruises, abrasions, and blisters, and for objects that
might have become imbedded in the tread. More frequent inspections are recommended when rapid or
extreme temperature changes occur, or where road surfaces are rough or occasionally littered with debris.
☒ True or ☐ False
True of False
28. Before loosening the fasteners to remove a potential split rim wheel from a vehicle, deflate the tyre
☒ True or ☐ False
True of False
29. Before reinstalling a tyre/wheel assembly on a vehicle, make sure the wheel studs are clean and not
damaged, then clean the axle/rotor flange and wheel bore with a wire brush or steel wool.
☒ True or ☐ False
True of False
30. Steel wheel rims should be inspected for excessive rust and corrosion, cracks, loose rivets or welds, bent or
damaged bead seats, and elongated lug nut holes. Aluminium or magnesium wheel rims should be
inspected for damaged bead seats, elongated lug nut holes, cracks, and porosity.
☒ True or ☐ False
31. Using the images below, number the tightening sequence for the wheel stud patterns.

AURLTJ013 Remove, inspect and refit light vehicle wheel and tyre assemblies
Sequence for the wheel stud patters is, 4 nut wheel, 5 nut wheel, 6 nut wheel and 8 nut wheel.
32. Why must wheel lug nuts be properly torqued using a torque wrench?
It is important to lug nuts properly because if they are not tightened properly then wheels can be
Ruined, affect rotor runout and accident may occur. Using little torque can cause wheels to come loose.
Usually, mechanics use torque wrench to lug nuts properly so that there will be no issue and does not
Create any problem.

37. Why is it very important that the Job Card is completed correctly?
It is very important that job card is completed correctly because it involves detailed work, time
taken, labour involved and resources that are required. job card is used to allocate details about labour and
material for a particular mechanic. The job card helps in calculating payment to mechanics. Job card is a
document which records worker’s entitlement under MGNREGA. It ensures transparency and protect
employees against fraud.
