Remove all the wheel nuts and
the tire.
When resting the tire on the
ground, place the tire so that the
wheel design faces up to avoid
scratching the wheel surface.
Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-

If foreign matter is on the wheel

may loosen while the vehicle is
in motion, and the tire may
come off the vehicle.
Tighten the nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose contact
with the disc wheel sheet.
