CAUTION: Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. 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.

Mount the wheel.
Install the wheel nuts and hand tighten the wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice .

Tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.
Tighten: Tighten the wheel nuts to 120 N.m (88 lb ft).
