Wheels: Service and Repair
Installation
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
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.
NOTICE: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating
fluids on wheel stud, 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 wheel, nut, and/or stud
damage.
