7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger tight.
The nuts should be installed with their
small diameter ends directed inward.
Jiggle the tire to be sure it is com-
pletely seated, then tighten the nuts
as much as possible with your fingers
again.

WARNING:
If there is not good contact on the
mounting surface between the wheel
and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen
and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle. This may
cause serious injury or death.

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts
Lower the car to the ground by turning
the wheel nut wrench counterclock-
wise. Then position the wrench as
shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is
seated completely over the nut. Do not
stand on the wrench or use an exten-
sion pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every
other nut until they are all tight. Then
double-check each nut for tightness.
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
