BRZ_U

Installing the spare tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is
in motion, and the tire may
come off the vehicle.

Install the spare tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand
to approximately the same
amount.

Tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered portion comes into
loose contact with the disc
wheel seat.

Lower the vehicle.

Firmly tighten each nut two or
three times in the order shown in
the illustration.

Tightening torque:
89 ft•lbf (120 N•m, 12.2 kgf•m)
