Warning (Continued)
Never use antifreeze, silicones,
or petroleum-based lubricants
when mounting radial tires. Only
an approved lubricant should be
used as an aid for mounting tires.
Always inflate tires in a
safety cage.
Warning
To prevent property damage, personal
injury, or death:
Do not mix stud-piloted wheels or
fasteners with hub-piloted wheels or
fasteners.
Do not change from aluminum wheels
to steel wheels, or vice-versa, without
changing the mounting hardware. In
some cases with flange nut mounting
systems, changing the hub and stud
assembly may be required. Mixing
components could cause wheel or
fastener failures.
Warning
To prevent property damage, personal
injury, and/or death, when installing the
tire and rim assembly on disc
brake-equipped axles, make sure the tire
valve stem clears the brake caliper.
Failure to obtain proper clearance may
result in rapid tire deflation.
When installing dual wheels, the vent holes
in the inner and outer wheels on each side
are lined up.
Also, the valves on the inner and outer dual
wheels should be lined up to be opposite
each other (at 12 and 6 o clock positions to
each other).
Check for damaged or bent wheels. Check to
see that all wheel lug nuts are present and
not loose. Look for rust trails around the
nuts. Ensure that no cracks or damage are
present at wheel mount holes.
Check for leaks on outboard or inboard sides
of wheel. Verify that the oil level in the hub
is correct.
Vehicle Care
Wheel and Tire Balancing
Out-of-round or out-of-balance wheels or
tires can cause vehicle vibration, bounce,
and shimmy. Replace damaged or
out-of-round wheels. Out-of-round tires and
wheel assemblies can sometimes be
corrected by reclocking the tire relative to
the wheel. The tire and wheel assembly
should thereafter be dynamically balanced
and reinspected while spinning for an out of
round condition.
Hub-Piloted Wheel Installation Procedure
Warning
To prevent property damage, personal
injury, and/or death, use only the same
type and style wheels and mounting
hardware to replace original parts. Failure
to do so may result in an assembly that
looks fine but does not fit together
properly. This could cause wheel or
fastener failures.
Your vehicle may be equipped with wheel
guards. Wheel guards are thin (less than
1.0 mm or 0.040 in thick), hard nylon
separator discs installed between the stud
circle mating surfaces of the hub and wheel
