the wheel bearing will be damaged. This reduces the service
life of the wheel bearings.
The drive axle bolt may be loosened maximum 90° when the
vehicle is standing on its wheels.
Vehicles without a drive axle must not be moved, otherwise the
wheel bearing will be damaged. If a vehicle must be moved,
