Installation Procedure
- Using a wire brush or wire wheel, clean the wheel to brake rotor mating surface.
- Using the CH-41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit, clean the rotor to wheel contact area.
- Using the CH-42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit, clean the surfaces around the front and rear wheel hub bolts.
- Clean the threads of the front and rear wheel hub bolts.
- If the threads of the front and rear wheel hub bolts are damaged, replace the front and rear wheel hub bolts as necessary.
- For the front wheel hub, refer to Front and Rear Wheel Hub Bolt Replacement .
- For the rear wheel hub, refer to Front and Rear Wheel Hub Bolt Replacement .
- After cleaning all of the wheel and brake rotor contact areas, use brake cleaner or denatured alcohol to remove any dirt and debris from the wheel nuts and the brake rotor.
- Inspect and clean the contact areas of the wheel. Wheel Mounting Surface Check
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the inner diameter of the wheel hub pilot hole (1) where it contacts the wheel hub flange. Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers
Wheel Trim Cap (1) - Install
Tire and Wheel Assembly (2) - Install
- Wheel Nut (1) - Install and hand tighten [5x]
- CAUTION:
Improperly tightened wheel bolts or nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel bolts or nuts to the proper torque specification.
CAUTION:Refer to Fastener Caution .
Using a torque wrench and the appropriate socket, evenly tighten the 5 wheel nuts (1) in a crisscross pattern to 190 N.m (140 lb ft).
- Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury.
Do not use power grinding tools to clean the brake rotor to wheel mating surfaces.
Never grease or lubricate wheel nuts, studs and mounting surfaces. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Tightening the lubricated parts can cause damage to the wheel studs. This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury.
