Wheels Removal/
Condition
Occasionally, wheel bolts should be
removed to apply anti-seize lubricant
to ease future removal. This is particu-
larly important when vehicle is used in
salt-water environment or in mud. Re-
move one nut at a time, lubricate then
retorque.
Wheels Removal
Loosen bolts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle. Remove bolts
then remove wheel.
At installation, it is recommended
to apply anti-seize lubricant on bolts
threads. Gently tighten bolts in a
criss-cross sequence then apply a fi-
nal torque.
