Tool Required:
-
0 - 300 Nm Torque Wrench
-
Or Equivalent
CAUTION: Before re-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 lead
to a wheel coming off while the vehicle is moving, possibly causing loss of control and personal injury.
NOTICE: A torque wrench must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel
studs, 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 when/, nut, and/or stud damage.
