Removal
WARNING: Use only integral 2-piece swiveling wheel nuts on vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels. Do not attempt to use cone-shaped 1-piece wheel nuts on these vehicles. If used, cone-shaped 1-piece wheel nuts can come loose during vehicle operation. Do not attempt to use past model wheels, which have cone-shaped wheel hub bolt nut seats, on this vehicle. Do not attempt to use present design wheels and wheel nuts on past model wheel hubs. Attempted use of intermixed wheels can lead to damage to the wheel mounting system and could result in wheels coming loose. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. If equipped, remove the wheel cover.
2. CAUTION: Do not use heat to loosen a seized wheel nut. Heat can damage the wheel and wheel bearings.
NOTE: Do not remove the wheel nuts at this time.
With the weight of the vehicle still on the tires, loosen the wheel nuts.
3. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
4. Remove the wheel nuts.
5. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
Installation
1. WARNING: Before a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor that contacts the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Position the wheel and tire assembly.
2. NOTE: For cone-shaped 1-piece wheel nuts, make sure the cone ends of the wheel nut face inward.
Install the wheel nuts hand-tight.
3. Turn the wheel and tire assembly until one wheel nut is at the top of the wheel hub bolt circle.
^ Tighten the wheel nut until snug.
^ In a crisscross-type pattern, tighten the remaining wheel nuts until snug to minimize runout.
4. CAUTION: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in the pattern shown can result in high rotor runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.
Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.
^ For 5-nut wheels, tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.)
^ For 8-nut wheels, tighten to 200 Nm (148 ft. lbs.)
5. If removed, install the wheel cover.
