Do not loosen the wheel assembly nuts when

wheel and the hub to lock the wheel assembly.
The tire is secured with the side ring and the lock ring.
When removing a tire from the truck, make sure the lock ring is
securely installed; otherwise, the side ring, tire, and wedge ring
might burst out, resulting in a severe accident.

• The wheel has hub nuts that secure the wheel to the hub and
rim nuts and bolts that assemble two rims together. When
removing a tire from the truck, do not loosen the bolts and nuts
of the split rim assembly.
