Tire and Wheel Installation

^ Tool Required:
- 0 - 300 Nm Torque Wrench
- Or Equivalent

CAUTION: Before re-installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This can lead to a wheel coming off while the vehicle is moving, possibly causing loss of control and personal injury.

NOTICE: A torque wrench must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel studs, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result In when/, nut, and/or stud damage.

Install or Connect
1. The wheel and tire in position on the hub and rotor and lug nuts installed loosely.
2. Turn the wheel until one nut is at the top of the bolt circle.
- Tighten the nut just snug.
3. Snug up the remaining nuts in a cries-cross pattern to minimize runout.
- Tighten
- The wheel nuts to 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.).
- Tighten evenly and alternately to avoid excessive runout.
