Tightening The Wheel Nuts - Chevrolet T-Series Owner's Manual

Tightening the Wheel Nuts

CAUTION:
{
Wheel nuts that are not tight can work
loose. If all the nuts on a wheel come off,
the wheel can come off the vehicle,
causing a crash. All wheel nuts must be
properly tightened. Follow the rules in this
section to be sure they are.
This section lets you know how often to check the
tightness of the wheel nuts on your vehicle and
how tight they must be.
First, use these pictures to decide what kind of
wheels you have.
