Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with
wheel covers, install two wheel bolts on the wheel.
Install the wheel bolts with the threaded end of the bolt
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
3.
Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve
stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the
cover over the two wheel bolts. Do not use a hammer or
excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining wheel bolts with the threaded end
of the wheel bolt toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
wheel bolts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel bolts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in personal injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.
6.
Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the
wrench while holding at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each
wheel bolt has been tightened twice. Refer to “Torque
Specifications” in this section for correct wheel bolt torque.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with
a torque wrench to ensure that all wheel bolts are
properly seated against the wheel.
