16.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified

the illustration.
Wheel nuts tightening torque for tem-
porary spare tire:
74 to 89 lbf·ft (100 to 120 N·m, 10 to 12
kgf·m)
This torque is equivalent to applying the
following load on the edge of the wheel

When you use a wheel nut wrench of
the 13.2-inch (335 mm) length:
Approximately 73 to 87 lbs (33 to 38 kg)
Never use your foot on the wheel nut
wrench or a pipe extension on the wrench
because you may exceed the specified
torque. Have the wheel nut torque
checked at the nearest automotive service
facility.
Do not use the extension when turn-
ing the wheel nuts. If you did, you
would not be able to achieve suffi-
cient tightening torque. The wheel
nuts could then come loose, result-
ing in a serious accident.
