1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with
wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install
the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

5 — Wheel Lug Nut
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve
stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the
cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or
excessive force to install the cover.
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 235. 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.
