REMOVAL - TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires clear ground level.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with wheel covers, remove the cover from the wheel by prying it off with an appropriate wheel cover removal tool.
3. Remove the wheel mounting (lug) nuts from the studs.
4. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the hub.
INSTALLATION - TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. To install the tire and wheel assembly, first position it properly on the studs and hub mounting surface using the hub pilot as a guide.
CAUTION: Never apply oil or grease to the wheel mounting studs or nuts.
2. Install and progressively tighten the five wheel mounting (lug) nuts in the proper sequence (Fig. 12) until half the specified torque is reached. Repeat the sequence, tightening the wheel mounting (lug) nuts to a final torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
3. If equipped with wheel covers, align the valve stem notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. By hand, tap the wheel cover onto the wheel until it is fully seated against the wheel.
4. Lower the vehicle.
