What to do in an emergency
If this is difficult, tip the wheel
slightly and get the top hole in the
wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid
over the other studs.

the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger

completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with
your fingers again.

shown in the drawing and tighten
the wheel nuts. Be sure the
socket is seated completely over
the nut. Do not stand on the
wrench handle or use an exten -

wheels, have the system checked

WARNING
Installing a wheel
When you install a wheel, always
remove any corrosion, dirt or for -
eign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel
or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that
contacts the wheel. Make sure to
secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do
not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing
wheels without correct metal-to-
metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the
wheel to come off while your
vehicle is in motion, resulting in
loss of vehicle control, personal
injury or death.
Make sure the wheel makes good
contact with the hub when
installed. If the contact of the
mounting surface between the
wheel and hub is not good, the
wheel nuts could come loose and
cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of
a wheel may result in loss of con -
trol of the vehicle.
