Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and
hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.
Make sure that you align the wheel with the
guide stud on the wheel hub prior to
installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise
(see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly
clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground
and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs.
(136 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where
applicable).
CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on
wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel
bolts should never be greased or lubricated.
The extended, chromed wheel bolts must
not be used with steel rims, as they make it
impossible to fit the hub caps.
Correct tightening order for wheel bolts
