Removing a Wheel
1. Remove the lug nuts (M12 x 1.50) with a lug wrench
turning them counterclockwise.
2. Slide the wheel off of the axle
3. Slide the hub spacer off the axle.
4. Store the wheel, lug nuts, and spacer in a safe
location.
Replacing a Wheel
The correct lug nut torque for all three wheels on the FUV
is 80 ft-lbs (108.5 Nm).
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer
or service station.
NOTE
Use only authorized dealer recommended lug bolts and
clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.
Proper torque is important to ensure that the wheel is
properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a wheel has
been removed and reinstalled, the lug nuts should be
torqued using a properly calibrated torque wrench using
a high quality deep wall socket.
1. Mount the hub spacer on the axle, with the flat side
of the spacer facing the brake rotor.
2. Mount the wheel on the axle.
3. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the
nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
4. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
5. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has been
lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
