WARNING(Continued)
•Do not change from aluminum wheels to steel wheels or vice-versa
without changing the mounting hardware where required or, in some
cases with flange nut mounting systems, changing the hub and stud
assembly. Mixing components could cause wheel or fastener failures
and result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING:An inflated tire and rim can be very dangerous if
improperly used, serviced or maintained. To avoid serious injury,
never attempt to re-inflate a tire which has been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without first removing the tire from the wheel assembly
for inspection. Do not attempt to add air to tires or replace tires or
wheels without first taking precautions to protect persons and property.
All tires with Steel Carcass Plies (if equipped):This type of tire
utilizes steel cords in the sidewalls. As such, they cannot be treated like
normal light truck tires. Tire service, including adjusting the air pressure,
must be performed by personnel trained, supervised and equipped
according to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations. For example, during any procedure involving tire
inflation, the technician or individual must utilize a remote inflation
device, and make sure that all persons are clear of the trajectory area.

Oil-lubricated Front Wheel Bearings
During normal vehicle duty cycle, the lubricant and air inside the
hub/wheel cavity expands and, if not vented, causes pressure build-up
that could cause accelerated seal wear. There are two venting methods
that can be used to prevent pressure build-up:
•a slit or small hole in the rubber check vent
•the window.
Over a period of time, if not routinely cleaned, a slight film of oil can
collect dirt around the rubber fill plug and face, which could appear to
be a leak. Routine cleaning makes sure that the lubricant level can be
easily observed through the window as intended. In situations where the
window is clean on the outside but discolored on the inside, the
lubricant level may be checked by inserting a finger through the rubber
check vent hole.
The specified lubricant level for a window-type hubcap is from the
minimum line to 5/16 inch (8 millimeters) above the minimum line. If the
lubricant level should suddenly drop dramatically below the minimum
level, see theWorkshop Manualfor diagnostic procedure.
Installation, Tightening and Alignment
Make sure the threads on the studs and nuts are clean to permit correct
torque when installing wheels. The mounting surfaces of rims, wheels,
spacer rings and clamps must be free of dirt, rust, lubricants or damage.
Use a wire brush to clean the mounting contact surfaces. Do not use
lubricant on threads.
Check the rim or wheel for proper alignment after it has been properly
tightened. Rotate the wheel with a piece of chalk attached to a steady,
firm surface, and placed to just barely clear the outside surface of the
tire bead seat; this procedure points out the high spot. A high spot does
not necessarily mean that the lug nuts have been unevenly tightened,
but could be the result of a bent wheel.
Use the following installation procedure:
1. Slide inner rear or front tire and wheel in position over studs and push
it back as far as possible. Use care so that the threads on the studs are
not damaged.

Note for aluminum wheels:Clean each wheel locator pad on the hub
from all dirt, rust and foreign material prior to re-installing rear
aluminum hub-piloted wheels. Apply a light coat of chassis grease,
never-seize or disc brake corrosion control grease, only to the wheel
locator pad.
3. Run the nuts on the studs until they contact the wheel(s). Rotate the
wheel assembly a half-turn to permit the parts to seat.
4. Draw-up the nuts alternately following the crisscross sequence
illustrated under the following wheel tightening sequence illustrations.
Do not fully tighten the nuts. This allows uniform seating of the nuts and
makes sure even face-to-face contact of the wheel and hub.
8–lug wheel
10–lug wheel
5. Continue tightening the nuts to the torque specifications in the torque
chart using the same crisscross sequence shown.
6. After operating the vehicle approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers),
check the nuts for tightness. Some natural seating of parts may be
encountered and the torque on the nuts can drop. Retighten all nuts to
specifications.
Once a week, inspect and retighten the wheel stud nuts.

Note:Make sure the tire valve stem clears the brake caliper when
installing the tire and rim assembly on disc-brake equipped axles. The
use of a tire manufacturer’s stem forming tool is the only acceptable
method of obtaining clearance when necessary.
Proper Torque
It is important to tighten and maintain wheel and rim mounting nuts to
the proper torque. Loose nuts or over-tightened nuts can lead to
premature wear and possible failure of the wheel or mounting hardware.
Changing Wheel Types
WARNING:Use only the same type and style wheels and
mounting hardware to replace original parts. Failure to do so may
result in an assembly that looks fine, but does not fit together properly.
This could possibly cause wheel or fastener failures which could result
in property damage, personal injury or death.
Note:Do not attempt to mix stud-piloted wheels or fasteners with
hub-piloted wheels or fasteners.
Note:Do not change from aluminum wheels to steel wheels or
vice-versa without changing the mounting hardware required or, with
flange nut mounting systems, changing the hub and stud assembly.
Consult your dealer or wheel or rim distributor before attempting any
wheel or fastener changes.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
Note:Do not use lubrication on dry threads. Where excessive corrosion
exists, a light coat of lubricant on the first three threads of the stud bolt
is permitted. Keep lubricant away from:
•Hex nut and rim clamp contact surfaces.
•Cap nut ball face and ball seat on the disc wheel.
•Flange nut washer surface and flat on the disc wheel.
