Install valve stems of dual wheels
180 degrees opposite each other.
1. Finger-tighten the nuts.

Vehicle Care
Warning
To help reduce the risk of losing
vehicle control and personal
injury or death, if any stud has
been damaged as a result of a
loose running wheel, all studs for
that wheel should be replaced.
A loose running wheel may cause
only one stud to break but
damage to other studs may not
be noticeable. If stud holes in a
wheel have become elongated or
distorted, replace the wheel.
