Changing a Tyre (ISO 10-bolt Wheels)
When changing a tyre, select a flat, solid surface. For the correct use of the jack, refer
to "Handling the Jack" on Page 7-134.
When replacing steel wheels, aluminum wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, use of
Isuzu genuine parts is recommended.
Changing Aluminum Wheels to Steel Wheels
Steel wheels and aluminum wheels need their specific wheel bolts for installation.
For both dedicated wheel bolts for steel wheels and aluminum wheels, they are
distinguished for use on front wheels and rear wheels.
When changing aluminum wheels to steel wheels or vice versa, replace wheel bolts
with those designed exclusively for the specific wheel type.
Replacement of the wheel bolts requires disassembly work, so contact the nearest
Isuzu Dealer.
WARNING
• If incorrect wheel bolts are used, poor fastening can result from damages on the
threads of wheel bolts or wheel nuts caused by inadequate seating and poor
screw engagement due to the inappropriate length of bolts, which may cause a
wheel detachment accident.
• Do not use wheel bolts for steel wheel on a aluminum wheel, and also do not
use use wheel bolts for front wheel on a rear wheel.
• Avoid mixed use of steel wheels and aluminum wheels.
• Do not use a disc wheel which had been used on another vehicle and has
groove-like stepped wear on its mating surface with the hub, which may cause
loosening in the wheel nuts.
