mounting the spare wheel. The use of
any wheel bolts other than wheel

cally damage the vehicle's brakes.

against hub and hold it there while
installing first wheel bolt.

Always replace wheel bolts that are
damaged or rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
Damaged wheel hub threads should be
repaired immediately. Do not continue to
drive under these circumstances! Contact

ened wheel bolts can cause the wheel to
come off. This could cause an accident.
Make sure to use the correct wheel bolts.
