REMOVAL
CAUTION: MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED AND SQUARELY POSITIONED ON HOIST. TO HELP AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE END FROM WHICH COMPONENTS ARE BEING REMOVED.
1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove wheel cover or center caps.
NOTICE: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel bolt. This can shorten the life of wheel and damage wheel bearings.
3. Remove wheel bolts.
4. Remove wheel.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Before installing wheels, remove rust or corrosion from wheel mounting surfaces and brake rotors/drums. Failure to do so can cause wheel bolts to loosen in service.
1. Position wheel onto hub.
2. Install wheel bolts and tighten in a crisscross pattern. Repeat tightening pattern to be sure torque is correct.
Torque: 125 Nm (92 ft. lbs.)
3. For steel wheel and optional aluminum wheel with large round center cap, install wheel cover or cap onto wheel. Hand tighten all five of the cap nuts with the aid of a socket. Then, with a wrench, tighten each of the caps an additional 1/4 turn (90 degrees).
4. Lower vehicle from hoist.
