put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with their
small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the
tire to be sure it is completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with your fingers
again.

Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position the
wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com-
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench
handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double-check each
nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a
