Insert the new wheel stud through the hole in the hub flange. Rotate the new stud slowly and ensure

that the serrations are aligned with those made by the original stud.

Place four flat washers over the outside end of the stud and thread the lug nut onto the stud with the

flat side against the washers.

Do not use air tools as the serrations may be stripped from the wheel stud.

Tighten the lug nut until the wheel stud head seat against the back side of the flange.

Remove the lug nut and washers.

Install the brake rotor, bracket and caliper.

Install the wheel and snug all of the lug nuts.

Lower the vehicle then tighten the wheel lug nuts to specification.

INSPECTION

Replace wheels if they are bent, cracked, leaking air or heavily rusted or if the lug nuts often become loose.

Do not use bent wheels that have been straightened or do not use inner tubes in leaking wheels. Do not replace

wheels with used wheels. Wheels that have been straightened or are leaking air or are used may have

structural damage and could fail without warning.
