Econoline E150 1/2 Ton V6-4.2L VIN 2 (1998)
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the inner wheel on the rear hub with the wheel dish facing inboard.
WARNING: WHEN A WHEEL IS INSTALLED, ALWAYS REMOVE ANY CORROSION, DIRT OR FOREIGN MATERIAL
PRESENT ON THE MOUNTING SURFACES OF THE WHEELS OR THE SURFACES OF THE REAR HUB THAT CONTACT THE
WHEEL. INSTALLING WHEELS WITHOUT PROPER METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT AT THE WHEEL MOUNTING
SURFACES CAN CAUSE THE LUG NUT TO LOOSEN AND THE WHEEL TO COME OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN
MOTION, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
2. Align the wheel with the small indexing hole, located in the wheel between the wheel hub bolt holes, with the alignment pin in the hole in the rear
hub.
3. Make sure the wheel is flush with the rear wheel hub mounting surface so there is no gap between the rear hub and the wheel.
4. Install the outer rear wheel flush against the inner wheel with the hub alignment locating pin protruding through the wheel index hole
5. Install the lug nuts and tighten until snug.
6. With the lug nuts loosely installed, turn the wheel until one lug nut is at the top of the wheel hub bolt circle. Tighten the swiveling lug nut until
snug. In a crisscross-type pattern, tighten the remaining lug nuts until snug to minimize runout.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Tighten the lug nuts to specification.
9. Install the wheel cover, if so equipped.
