ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

WHEEL

REMOVAL
1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180D (half a rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Remove wheel.
NOTE:
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because application of
heat to wheel can shorten life of wheel and damage wheel
bearings.
INSTALLATION
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to proper torque to
avoid bending wheel or brake drum or disc as in figure.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on
wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting sur-
face by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels without
good metal-to-metal contact at mounting surfaces can cause
wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow wheel to come off
while vehicle is moving.
