CAUTION:

Incorrect or improperly tightened wheel nuts
can cause the wheel to come loose and even
come off. This could lead to a crash. If you
have to replace them, be sure to get new
original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specification. See Capacities
and Specifications
on page 5-117 for wheel nut
torque specification.

Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead
to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification. See Capacities and
Specifications
on page 5-117 for the wheel nut
torque specification.

15. Tighten the nuts firmly

in a crisscross
sequence as shown by
turning the wheel
wrench with the wheel
wrench extender
clockwise.

16. When you install the wheel and tire, you must also

reinstall the center cap. Place the cap on the wheel
and tap it into place until it sits flush with the wheel.
