wheel studs.
2. Tighten the inner wheel nuts of the
same wheel to the specified torque.
3. Next, tighten the outer wheel nuts to
the specified torque.
Warning
If you find any abnormal conditions with
the wheel nuts such as frequent
loosening of retightened nuts, have your
vehicle checked or serviced at the nearest
dealer as soon as possible.
Fully engage the wheel wrench on a wheel
nut in order to tighten the nut to the
specified torque. However, do not use a pipe
as a handle extension or your foot to apply
force on the wrench. This would tighten the
nut more than required and might damage
components.
Both under-tightening and over-tightening of
wheel nuts may cause broken wheel studs
or cracked disc wheels and could lead to
wheel detachment. Adhere to the specified
tightening torques.
When replacing a tire with a new one, use
only a tire of the same type and size as the
replaced tire; otherwise, driving safety could
be affected. Avoid mixed use of different
types or different size tires at all costs.
