Wheel and Tire - Dual Rear Wheel (DRW)













Removal

WARNING: Never use wheels different than the original equipment. Additionally, never use wheel nuts different than the original equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the wheel or mounting system. This damage could cause the wheel to come off while the vehicle is being driven, which could result in serious personal injury or death to vehicle occupant(s).

1. If equipped, remove the wheel cover.

2. NOTICE: Do not use heat to loosen a seized wheel nut or damage to the wheel and wheel bearing can occur.

NOTE: Do not remove the wheel nuts at this time.

With the weight of the vehicle still on the tires, loosen the 8 wheel nuts.

3. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Jacking and Lifting Service and Repair.

4. Remove the wheel nuts.

5. Remove the outer and inner wheel and tire assemblies.

Installation

1. WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surface of the wheel and the mounting surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Failure to follow these instructions when installing wheels may result in the wheel nuts loosening and the wheel coming off while the vehicle is in motion, which could result in loss of control, leading to serious injury or death to vehicle occupant(s).

Clean the wheel mounting surfaces and apply a thin coat of anti-seize to the wheel hub pilot surface (wheel only).

2. Position the inner wheel on the rear hub with the wheel dish facing inboard and the hub alignment pin protruding through the wheel index hole.

3. Make sure the wheel is flush with the rear wheel hub mounting surface so there is no gap between the rear hub and the wheel.

4. Position the outer rear wheel flush against the inner wheel with the hub alignment locating pin protruding through the wheel index hole.

5. On all 2-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of the specified motor oil between the flat washer and the nut. If corrosion exists, or the integral 2-piece swiveling wheel nuts do not rotate freely, install new swiveling wheel nuts as necessary.
- Install the 8 wheel nuts by hand.

- Tighten the wheel nuts until snug in a star/cross pattern to minimize runout.





6. NOTICE: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern can result in high brake disc runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.

Lower the vehicle.

- Tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern to 190 Nm (140 lb-ft).

7. If removed, install the wheel cover.
