STANDARD PROCEDURE
TIRE REPAIR AREA
For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed
from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if the
defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (1). The tire
should be replaced if the puncture is located in the
sidewall.
Deflate tire completely before removing the tire from
the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solu-
tion when dismounting or mounting tire. Use tools free
of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire
or wheel rim.
Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is
removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.
Install wheel on vehicle, and tighten to proper torque
specification.
CLEANING
TIRES
Remove the protective coating on the tires before delivery of a vehicle. This coating may cause deterioration of the
tires.
To remove the protective coating, apply warm water and let it soak for a few minutes. Afterwards, scrub the coating
away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be used to remove thecoating.
NOTE: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil-based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use chrome plated lug nuts with
chrome plated wheels.
NOTE: All wheel nuts should then be tightened
just snug. Gradually tighten them in sequence to
the proper torque specification.
NOTE: Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
Before installing the wheel, be sure to remove any
build up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surfaces.
Ensure wheels are installed with good metal-to-metal
contact. Improper installation could cause loosening of
wheel nuts. This could affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
To install the wheel (3), first position it properly on the mounting surface.
8–lug.
(SRT10).

Tighten the wheel lug nuts in the numbered sequential pattern until they are snug tight. Then tighten lug nut to
specified torque following same number sequence, (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/WHEELS - SPECIFICA-
TIONS).
Tighten lug nuts in same numbered sequence a second time to the specified torque. This will ensure that the
wheels are thoroughly mated.
Check lug nut specified torque after 100 miles (160 kilometers). Also after 500 miles (800 kilometers) of vehicle
operation.
NOTE: Wheel lug nuts should be tightened to specified torque at every maintenance interval thereafter.

TESTS
1. Verify the battery state of charge (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
2. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale selected) in series with the clutch coil feed terminal. Connect a
voltmeter (0 to 20 volt scale selected) to measure voltage across the battery and the clutch coil.
3. With the A/C-heater control in the A/C mode and the blower motor at low speed, start the engine and allow it to
run at a normal idle speed.
4. The A/C compressor clutch should engage immediately, and the clutch coil supply voltage should be within two
volts of the battery voltage. If the coil supply voltage is OK, go to Step 5. If the coil supply voltage is not within
two volts of battery voltage, test the clutch coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair as necessary.
5. For the acceptable A/C clutch coil current draw specifications refer to24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING -
SPECIFICATIONS. Specifications apply for a work area temperature of 21° C(70° F). If voltage is more than
12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turning on electrical accessories until voltage reads below 12.5 volts.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
A/C CLUTCH PLATE INSPECTION
NOTE: The A/C clutch can be serviced inthe vehicle. The refrigerant systemcan remain fully-charged dur-
ing compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly, or coil replacement.
Examine the friction surfaces of the pulley and the
clutch plate (2) for wear. The pulley and clutch plate
should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scor-
ing.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft and
nose area of the A/C compressor (1) for refrigerant oil.
If refrigerant oil is found, the compressor shaft seal is
leaking and the A/C compressor must be replaced.
Check the pulley bearing for roughness or excessive
leakage of grease. Replace the pulley and bearing
assembly, if required.
A/C CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new A/C compressor clutch hasbeen installed, cycle the compressorclutch approximately 20 times (5 sec-
onds on, then 5 seconds off). During this procedure, set the A/C-heater controls to the A/C Recirculation Mode, the
blower motor in the highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500 to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing)
will seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.
