In case of emergency
1) The length of the wheel nut wrench
15.Confirm the length of the equipped
wheel nut wrench.
For an aluminum wheel vehicle, the 11.2-
inch (285 mm) wheel nut wrench is
equipped as a maintenance tool. And for a
chrome plated wheel vehicle, the 13.2-
inch (335 mm) wheel nut wrench is
equipped as well.
16.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
Wheel nuts tightening torque for tem-
porary spare tire:
74 to 89 lbf·ft (100 to 120 N·m, 10 to 12
kgf·m)
This torque is equivalent to applying the
following load on the edge of the wheel
nut wrench.
When you use a wheel nut wrench of
the 11.2-inch (285 mm) length:
Approximately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50
kg)
When you use a wheel nut wrench of
the 13.2-inch (335 mm) length:
Approximately 73 to 87 lbs (33 to 38 kg)
Never use your foot on the wheel nut
wrench or a pipe extension on the wrench
because you may exceed the specified
torque. Have the wheel nut torque
checked at the nearest automotive service
facility.

Do not use the extension when turn-
ing the wheel nuts. If you did, you
would not be able to achieve suffi-
cient tightening torque. The wheel
nuts could then come loose, result-
ing in a serious accident.
