wheel wrench to tighten the nuts until the wheel
is held against the hub.
10. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the vehicle. Lower the jack completely.
CAUTION:
{
Incorrect or improperly tightened wheel nuts
can cause the wheel to come loose and even
come off. This could lead to a crash. If you
have to replace them, be sure to get new
original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specification. See Capacities and
Specifications on page 5-114 for wheel nut
torque specification.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead
to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification. See Capacities and
Specifications on page 5-114 for the wheel nut
torque specification.
When you reinstall the regular wheel and tire, you must
also reinstall the center cap, if your vehicle has one.
Line up the tabs on the back of the center cap with the
slot on the wheel. The cap only goes in one way.
Place the cap on the wheel and gently press until it
snaps into place.
11. Tighten the nuts firmly
in a crisscross
sequence as shown
by turning the
wheel wrench
