Tires and Wheels - Installation






TIRE AND WHEEL INSTALLATION

The wheel bolts are designed for specific applications. They must be replaced with equivalent parts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality or a substitute design.


Before installing the wheel, be sure to remove any build up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surfaces. Ensure wheels are installed with good metal-to-metal contact. Improper installation could cause loosening of wheel bolts. This could affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.






NOTE: Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts.

1. Position the wheel properly on the mounting surface.
2. Install all wheel bolts finger tight.
3. Gradually tighten all wheel bolts in the sequence shown. Tighten the wheel bolts to 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.).
