Wheels and Tires: Service and Repair

Fig 6 Wheel Stud Tightening Sequence:

CAUTION: The tightening sequence and torquing of the wheel stud nuts is of great importance to insure efficient brake operation.
- The use of an impact or long-handled wrench may distort the drum.

Use a crisscross tightening sequence. Tighten all the stud nuts to one-half the specified torque first, and then repeat the sequence tightening to the specified torque.
