2. Install the remaining wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel bolt toward the

the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each wheel
bolt has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each wheel bolt is 100 ft/lbs

wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
