{WARNING:
Wheel nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to become loose or
come off. The wheel nuts should be tightened with
a torque wrench to the proper torque speciļ¬cation
after replacing. Follow the torque speciļ¬cation
supplied by the aftermarket manufacturer when
using accessory locking wheel nuts. SeeCapacities
and Speci cations on page 6-116for original
equipment wheel nut torque speciļ¬cations.
Notice:Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead
to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque speci cation. SeeCapacities and
Speciļ¬cations on page 6-116for the wheel nut
torque speci cation.11. Use the wheel wrench to tighten the nuts ļ¬rmly.
Turn the wheel wrench clockwise and in a
crisscross sequence as shown.

100 miles (160 km) and then 1,000 miles (1600 km)
after that. Repeat this service whenever you have
a tire removed or serviced. SeeCapacities and
