Removal and Replacement

REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting for procedure.
2. Remove the 6 wheel mounting nuts securing the wheel to the hub.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly by pulling it straight away from the hub.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Before installing the wheel on the hub, be sure to remove any buildup of corrosion on the mounting surface of the wheel and the hub. Installing wheels without good metal-to-metal contact could cause loosening of the wheel nuts. This could adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.

1. Position the tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle by aligning the wheel mounting studs with the 6 mounting holes in the wheel and slide the assembly onto the hub.

NOTE: Never use oil or grease on the studs or wheel attaching nuts.






2. Install all 6 wheel mounting nuts and lightly tighten each. Progressively tighten each nut in sequence to a torque of 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).
3. Lower the vehicle.
