Step 9

Step 9: Reinstall the Wheels and Lug Nuts.

^ Tighten lug nuts to 133 N in (14 kg.m, 98 ft.lb) with a Torque Wrench.

^ Do Not tighten the wheel lug nuts with an air impact wrench.

^ If you apply uneven or high torque to the lugs it may distort (warp) the brake rotor and hub. This could cause increased rotor runout and excessive rotor thickness variation as the rotor wears.
