To put the wheel on the hub, pick
up the spare tyre, line up the
holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them.
If this is difficult, tip the wheel
slightly and get the top hole in the
wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid
over the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Han -
dle 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 inter -

the drawing and tighten the wheel
nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not

Go around the wheel tightening
every other nut until they are all
tight. Then doublecheck each nut
for tightness. After changing
wheels, have the system checked by
a professional workshop.
