the parts to which it is
fastened, can make wheel
bolts become loose after time.

CAUTION
(Continued)
The wheel could come off and
cause a crash. When you
change a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where
the wheel attaches to the
vehicle using a scraper or
wire brush.
Installing wheels with a good
metal-to-metal contact at
the mounting surfaces is
necessary to prevent wheel
bolts from becoming loose.
To prevent corrosion or
rust build-up, lightly coat the
wheel hub center and the
cone-shaped surface of each
wheel bolt with wheel bearing
grease, after a wheel change.
See Changing a Flat Tire on
page 9-61 for information
on installing the tire and wheel
assembly. Also see “Wheel
Bolt Torque” under Capacities
and Specifications on page 10-2.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure
shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure
on page 9-47 and Loading the
Vehicle on page 8-30.
