7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the studs, put the
wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger
tight. The nuts should be installed with their small
diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to
be sure it is completely seated, then tighten the
nuts as much as possible with your fingers again.

WARNING:
Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp
edges. Handle them carefully to avoid pos-
sible severe injury. Before putting the wheel
into place, be sure that there is nothing on the
hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.)
that interferes with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it.
If there is not good contact on the mounting
surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the loss of
a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle. This may cause seri-
ous injury or death.

Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position the
wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com-
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench
handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double-check each
nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a
technician tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.
