Wheel Stud / Lug Nut

Wheel Nuts

Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage.

Important: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately in order to avoid excessive runout of the tire and wheel assembly.

Using the J 39544-KIT, tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.

Tighten the nuts in sequence to 140 N.m (100 lb ft).
