7. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the vehicle. Lower the jack completely.
6. After mounting the
spare, put the wheel
nuts back on with
the rounded end of the
nuts toward the
wheel. Tighten each
wheel nut by hand.
Then use the wheel
wrench to tighten
the nuts until the wheel
is held against the hub.
8. Tighten the nuts firmly
in a crisscross
sequence as shown by
turning the wheel
wrench clockwise.
CAUTION:
{
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose
and even come off. This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel
nuts. If you have to replace them, be sure to
get new GM 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" in the Index 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" in
the index for the wheel nut torque specification.
When you reinstall the regular wheel and tire, you must
also reinstall the center cap. Place the cap on the wheel
and tap it into place until it seats flush with the wheel. The
cap only goes on one way. Be sure to line up the tab on
the center cap with the indentation on the wheel.
