Changing a wheel – installing wheel
It is important to re-install wheels properly.
Re-installing the wheel
- Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.
Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.
Tighten the wheel nuts - Install the wheel nuts and tighten hand-tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise until all nuts are snug.
- Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 103 ft. lbs. (140 Nm).
- Install the wheel cover (where applicable). The opening in the wheel cover for the tire's inflation valve must be positioned over the valve.
