brake rotor PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 1997 Owners Manual

9. Tighten the wheel
nuts firmly in a
criss-cross sequence.
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to become loose
and even
come off. This could lead to an accident.
Be sure
to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get new
GM original
equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere
as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with
a torque wrench to 100 Ib-ft
(140 N-m).
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 specification.
Don’t try to put the wheel cover
on the compact
spare tire. It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover in the
trunk until you have replaced the compact spare tire
with a regular tire.
Wheel covers won’t fit
on your compact spare. If
you try to put a wheel cover on your compact
spare, you could damage the cover or the spare.
When
you re-install the full size wheel and tire, you
install the wheel cover or nut caps at this point.
