WARNING:
Wheel and wheel covers may have
sharp edges. Handle them carefully
to avoid possible severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into place,
be sure that there is nothing on the
hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against
the hub. If there is, remove it. If
there is not good contact on the
mounting surface between the
wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could
loosen and cause the loss of a
wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in
loss of control of the vehicle. This
may cause serious injury or death.

7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
D060H01FC
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger tight.
The nuts should be installed with their
small diameter ends directed inward.
Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely
seated, then tighten the nuts as much
as possible with your fingers again.

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten
Nuts
D060I01FC
Lower the car to the ground by turning
the wheel nut wrench counterclock-
wise. Then position the wrench as
shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is
seated completely over the nut. Do not
stand on the wrench handle or use an
extension pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every
other nut until they are all tight. Then
double-check each nut for tightness.
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
