Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead
to over tightening of the nuts, wheel bolts spanner slip, damage
the nuts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may
loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before
installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel nuts using the wheel nuts spanner. Turn the jack handle
extension anti clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle,
making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack handle
extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over
the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite
order as shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do
not use any other tools or any additional leverage other than your
hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Firmly tighten the wheel nuts as per the sequence shown in the
illustration , two to three times.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The
wheel can wobble or come off. This can result in loss of vehicle
control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the
wheel nuts are properly/securely tightened to the specified
torque.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body
are clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have the
wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to 120 Nm, as
soon as possible after changing wheels.
