To install:

aligned with those made by the old lug nut stud.
3. Place 4 flat washers over the outside end of the lug nut stud and thread the wheel lug nut with the flat
washer side against the washers.
4. Tighten the wheel nut until the stud head seats against the back side of the hub. Do not use air tools as
the serrations may be stripped from the stud.

9. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel lug nuts to specification.
Retighten the wheel lug nuts to specification after about 100 miles of driving. Failure to do this could result in
the wheel coming off while the vehicle is in motion possibly causing loss of vehicle control or collision.
