4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten all the lug nuts until the wheel
sits flush onto the hub and there is no play. The
nuts will have to be fully tightened once the
vehicle is lowered. Tightening an improperly
seated wheel under vehicle load can damage
the threads, cause vibration, and undermine
safety.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the
jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a
star pattern until each nut has been tightened
twice. Details for proper wheel lug nut torque
page 295. If in doubt about the correct
Ú
tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service
station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all
lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
