SERVICE OPERATIONS
METRIC LUG NUTS AND WHEEL STUDS
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs (size: M12 x 1.25).
WHEEL REMOVAL
1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180_ (half a rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Remove wheel.
CAUTION:
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because application
of heat to wheel can shorten life of wheel and damage
wheel bearings.
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to proper torque to
avoid bending wheel or brake disc, left figure.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on
wheel mounting surface and brake disc mounting surface by
scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels without good
metal-to-metal contact at mounting surfaces can cause wheel
nuts to loosen, which can later allow a wheel to come off while
vehicle is moving.

TIRE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires. Follow
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or
tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or
wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or dismounting a tire, bead area should be well lubricated with
approved tire lubricant.
