Wheels: Service and Repair
Installation
1. Align the locating mark of the tire and the wheel to the hub to install the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. Tighten the wheel nuts with your fingers until they are snug. Then, tighten the nuts
(in the sequence shown) to the fastener tightening specification shown in Specifications. Improperly tightened wheel nuts could eventually
allow the wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving, possibly causing loss of control, personal injury, and property damage.
NOTICE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be correct part number for that application. Fasteners
requiring replacement of fasteners requiring thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping
force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to
parts and system.
