Installing the wheel

Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and

hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.

Make sure that you align the wheel with the

guide stud on the wheel hub prior to

installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise

(see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly

clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground

and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs.

(136 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where

applicable).

CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on

wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel

bolts should never be greased or lubricated.

The extended, chromed wheel bolts must

not be used with steel rims, as they make it

impossible to fit the hub caps.

Correct tightening order for wheel bolts

WARNING!

The jack’s attachment must engage the

bar in the jack attachment (see inset

illustration in center column on the

previous page). The car’s weight must

not rest on the jack attachment.

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,

non-slippery surface.

Never allow any part of your body to

be extended under a car supported by

a jack.

Use the jack intended for the car when

replacing a wheel. For any other job,

use stands to support the side of the

car being worked on.

Apply the parking brake, select

position P (automatic transmission) or

Reverse gear (manual transmission).

Block the wheels standing on the

ground, use rigid wooden blocks or

large stones.

The jack should be kept well-greased.
