Mounting tires
• To prevent wheel nuts 2, 4 and hub bolt 6 from becoming loose and to
prevent mounting parts (tire assemblies 3, 5 and hub 7) from being
damaged, remove rust, dust, additional coatings of paint, and foreign
particles from the following areas:
F : Hub bolt thread area
G : Wheel mounting surface of hub
H : Wheel alignment area of hub
J : Disc wheel mating surface
K : Disc wheel nut mounting surface
L : Wheel nut thread area
M : Wheel nut spherical area
N : Grease application area
WARNING
–
Never use grease containing molybdenum disulfide, since it can
cause loosening of fitted screws.

• Put on the double rear tires as follows:
• After mounting inner tire 5 and fully tightening inner wheel nuts 4,
jack the vehicle up and mount on outer tire 3, then tighten outer
wheel nuts 2.
• Even if only outside tire 3 is to be changed, do not mount it until
inner wheel nuts 4 have been fastened at the specified torque.
• Slide the air valves on the inside and outside tires down when
mounting the tires.
WARNING
–
If the threads are scored, or the disc wheel is deformed or
cracked, change bolts 6, nuts 2, 4 and disc. Driving the truck
before correcting such problems can cause the tire in question to
come loose, which could be the source of major accidents.
CAUTION
–
Check hub bolt 6 threads carefully for scratches before putting
the tire on.
• Place the tapered end of wheel nuts 2, 4 towards the disc wheel and
fasten temporarily. Center so that there is no eccentricity between
bolts 6 and the disc wheel bolt holes.
• Lower the vehicle.
