Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
B
Wheel Installation
Do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm)
torque.
It is important to follow the
‘cross sequence’ pattern
when
installing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel
against the hub.
With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto
the hub. Install lug nuts (1) finger tight; make sure that
the tapered end is against the wheel rim; and tighten in a
‘cross sequence’ pattern
; then, tighten lug nuts to
specified torque in 20 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) increments following
the same
‘cross sequence’ pattern
.
