Dual wheel models require a special heavy-duty lug nut tightening adapter (included
with the vehicle) to correctly tighten the lug nuts. Also, when it is necessary to remove
and install dual rear wheels, use a proper vehicle lifting device.
NOTE:
When installing a spare tire (if equipped) as part of a dual rear wheel end
combination, the tire diameter of the two individual tires must be compared. If there
is a significant difference, the larger tire should be installed in a front location. The
correct direction of rotation for dual tire installations must also be observed.
These dual rear wheels should be tightened as follows:
1. Tighten the wheel nuts in the num-
bered sequence to a snug fit.
2. Retighten the wheel nuts in the same
sequence to the torques listed in the
table. Go through the sequence a sec-
ond time to verify that specific torque
has been achieved. Retighten to
specifications at 100 miles (160 km)
and after 500 miles (800 km).
It is recommended that wheel stud nuts
be kept torqued to specifications at all
times. Torque wheel stud nuts to specifi-
cations at each lubrication interval.
