5. Mount dual rear wheels as described below.
NOTE:
When installing dual wheels, make sure that the air
valve of the inner wheel is not lined up with the air
valve of the outer wheel.
Mount the inner wheel, then jack up the vehicle
again. Set the outer wheel such that the wheel
bolts are located in the centers of the disc
wheel’s bolt holes, then tighten the wheel nuts
just enough to eliminate looseness.
Lower the vehicle, then tighten the wheel nuts in
the illustrated sequence. Work through the
sequence two or three times, finally tightening
each wheel nut to the specified torque.
6. If only the outer wheel of dual wheels is
replaced, retighten the inner wheel nuts to the
specified torque before mounting the outer
wheel.
WARNING
• Fit the socket wrench securely on the
wheel nut. If fitted improperly, the wrench
will slip off the nut, and could cause injury.
• Do not jump or jerk on the wrench handle
when tightening the nut by using your own
weight. Doing so can overtighten the nut.
Overtightening the nuts could overstrain
the bolts or deform the disc wheel’s sur-
face.
• The wheel nuts must be tightened to the
specified torque. Unless the nuts are tight-
ened correctly, the wheel may work loose
while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in
a serious accident.
WARNING
When replacing an outer wheel of a dual rear
wheel, be sure to retighten the inner wheel
nuts before tightening the outer wheel nuts.
