Wheel Torquing Procedures
When installing the wheels, make sure that the hub and wheel mating surfaces are
clean and free of rust, dirt and excess paint. The studs and threads must be clean, dry
and in good condition for applying installation torque.
The hand torque wrench or air wrench used to install the wheels must be periodi-
cally calibrated to insure proper applied torque. Adjust the tools as necessary.
Position the inner disc wheel over the studs, being careful not to damage the stud
threads. Make sure the disc wheel is flat against the mounting surface and there is
clearance between the disc wheel taper and the brake drum.
Position the outer disc wheel against the inner wheel being careful not to damage
the threads on the studs. Be sure the valve stems for both the inner and outer tires are
accessible.
Install the wheel nuts and tighten to a partial torque of 50 lbs.-ft. using the sequence
shown, and then tighten them to a full torque of 200 lbs.-ft. in sequence.
For both new installations and reinstallations, the parts will seat naturally and the
torque will drop after the first 50 to 100 miles of operation. Retighten the wheel nuts to
proper torque at this interval using the sequence above.
