CAUTl IN:
L -
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel
to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire
brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.
Put the nuts on by
hand. Make sure the
cone-shaped end is
toward the wheel.
Tighten each nut by hand
until the wheel is held
against the
hub.
If a nut
can't be turned by hand,
use the wheel wrench
and see your dealer as
soon as possible.
