the wheel slightly and get the top
hole in the wheel lined up with the
top stud.
12.Jiggle the wheel back and forth
until the wheel can slide over the
other studs.
Wheels may have sharp edges.
Handle them carefully to avoid
possible severe injury. Before put -
ting the wheel into place, be sure
that there is nothing on the hub
or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel,
etc.) that prevents the wheel
from fitting solidly against the
hub.
WARNING
Installing a wheel
Make sure the wheel makes good
contact with the hub when installed.
If the contact of the mounting sur -
face between the wheel and hub is
not good, the wheel nuts could come
loose and cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle.
13.To install the wheel, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight.
14.Jiggle the tire to be sure it is
completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with
your fingers again.
15.Insert the wrench into the jack
and lower the vehicle to the
ground by turning the wheel nut
wrench counterclockwise.
16.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 han -
dle or use an extension pipe over
the wrench handle.
17.Go around the wheel, tightening
every nut following the numerical
sequence shown in the image
until they are all tight. Double-
check each nut for tightness.
