IMPORTANT:
Check all parts, including wheels and studs and mounting faces
of hub and wheels, for dirt, rust or damage. Use a wire brush
to remove dirt and rust, replace any damaged parts.
Careless installation of wheels on a vehicle is a major cause
of tyre and wheel problems. Proper installation, including nut
torque, is essential to safe, economical, trouble free service.
Use only the specified sizes and types of studs and nuts.
Tighten the nuts a quarter turn at a time following the criss-
cross sequence shown in Fig. 8.5. This is very important.
Failure to tighten the nuts in this criss-cross sequence will
cause a misalignment of the wheel. Continue until all nuts are
tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.
CAUTION:
Improper torque can cause distortion, fatigue cracks or
alignment problems. After running the vehicle for a short
distance, check the nuts for tightness. Parts will usually seat
naturally and torque on nuts will drop. Retighten all nuts to
the specified torque.
The information above is for a tyre professional and should not
be attempted by individuals not properly trained & equipped.
