CAUTION:

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose
and even come off. This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel
nuts. If you have to replace them, be sure to
get new GM 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 5-124 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 5-124 for the wheel nut
torque specification.

14. Tighten the nuts firmly

in a crisscross
sequence as shown by
turning the ratchet
clockwise, with the UP
mark facing you.

15. 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.
