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: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the
fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
2. Install the wheel nuts.
-
Tighten the wheel nuts in sequence to 140 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
3. Install the hub cap. Refer to ALUMINUM WHEEL HUB CAP REPLACEMENT.
4. Lower the vehicle.
