WHEEL INSTALLATION
Tools Required: J 39544 Wheel Nut Torque Limiter
CAUTION: Before 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 cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury.
In order to avoid bending the wheel, brake drum or rotor, tighten the wheel nuts in sequence and to the proper torque. Over-torquing the wheel nuts on
steel wheels may damage the wheel mounting holes and lead to cracks. DO NOT use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel studs, nuts, or mounting
surfaces. Lubricants may raise the actual torque on the nut. Tighten the wheel nuts using the J 39544. Do not use the J 39544 in order to remove the
wheel nuts.
