Cadillac 2008 Escalade EXT Owner's Manual page 417

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 5-115 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 5-115 for the wheel
nut torque specification.
When you reinstall the regular wheel and tire, you
must also reinstall the center cap. Line the tab on the
back of the tab with the slot in the wheel. Place the
cap on the wheel and press until it snaps into place.
12. Tighten the
nuts firmly in a
crisscross sequence
as shown by
turning the wheel
wrench clockwise.
