At this point you can remove the lug nuts completely while holding the bottom of the wheel so
that it does not fall off the studs. Then lift the wheel off the studs and remove the wheel
completely. This is a good time to check the brake parts and suspension components for wear.
Wheel Removed:
Once the wheel is removed, you can start installing the new wheel by letting it hang on the
wheel studs and then gently tightening the lugs in a cross pattern.
Be sure to tighten the lugs in a cross pattern to distribute the load.
Do not over-tighten the lugs as damage to the rotor may result.
Once the car is lowered on the ground, tighten the lugs again.
Never use an impact wrench to tighten the lugs. Instead, use a torque wrench to tighten the
lugs as per the owner’s manual. The wheel lug torque specification for our cars is 92 lb-ft.
