11. Tighten the nuts firmly
in a crisscross
sequence as shown by
turning the ratchet
clockwise, with the UP
mark facing you.
{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose
and even come off. This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts.
If you have to replace them, be sure to get new
GM original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specification. See “Capacities
and Specifications” in the Index for wheel nut
torque specification.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper torque
specification. See “Capacities and Specifications” in
the index for the wheel nut torque specification.
12. When you install the wheel and tire, you must also
reinstall the center cap. Place the cap on the wheel
and tap it into place until it sits flush with the wheel.
