Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two
wheel bolts on the wheel. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded end of the bolt
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel
cover with the valve stem on the
wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two wheel
bolts. Do not use a hammer or exces-
sive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining wheel bolts with
the threaded end of the wheel bolt
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
wheel bolts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the wheel bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in personal injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of
the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until
each wheel bolt has been tightened twice. The correct wheel bolt torque is
63 ft lbs (86 N·m) for steel wheels and 89 ft lbs (120 N·m) for aluminum wheels.
If you doubt that you have tightened the bolts correctly, have them checked with
a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to
ensure that all wheel bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
