Installation
WARNING: WHEN A WHEEL IS INSTALLED, ALWAYS REMOVE ANY CORROSION, DIRT OR FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT MAY BE PRESENT ON THE MOUNTING SURFACES OF THE WHEELS OR THE SURFACES OF THE WHEEL HUB, BRAKE DRUM OR BRAKE ROTOR THAT CONTACTS THE WHEEL. INSTALLING WHEELS WITHOUT PROPER METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT AT THE WHEEL MOUNTING SURFACES CAN CAUSE THE LUG NUT TO LOOSEN AND THE WHEEL TO COME OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, mount the inner wheel on the rear hub with the wheel dish facing inboard.
Align the wheel with the small indexing hole, located in the wheel between the wheel hub bolt holes, with the alignment pin in the hole in the rear hub. Refer to the previous illustration.
Make sure the wheel is flush with the rear wheel hub mounting surface so there is no gap between the rear hub and wheel.
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, install the outer rear wheel flush against the inner wheel with the hub alignment locating pin protruding through the wheel index hole.
Install and tighten until snug the integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts (nut and washer assembly).
With the swiveling lug nuts loosely installed, turn the wheel until one swiveling lug nut is at the top of the wheel hub bolt circle. Tighten the swiveling lug nut until snug. In a criss-cross type pattern, tighten the remaining swiveling lug nuts until snug to minimize runout.
Lower the vehicle to the floor.
Evenly tighten the swiveling lug nuts in the torque sequence shown in the illustration. Tighten 5-lug (1/2-20) lug nuts to 100-180 Nm (74-133 lb-ft); tighten 8- and 10-lug 9/16-18 lug nuts to 170-230 Nm (126-170 lb-ft).
