12-60 Simple inspection and service
WARNING
• Be sure to tighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque. Excessive torque could
elongate the bolt or deform the surface of
the disc wheel.
• When replacing the wheel, take care not to
damage the threads on the wheel bolts
and inner wheel nuts.
• As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to “wear-in.” Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km
(30 to 60 miles). Thereafter, retighten the
nuts at regular intervals.
• Do not paint disc wheel mounting surfaces
, dual wheel mating surfaces , wheel
nut seating surfaces , and wheel hub
mounting surfaces as resulting thicker
paint film could cause the wheel nuts to
loosen up.
• Be sure to use the specified type of tires.
Mixing bias and radial tires results in poor
steering and should be avoided at all
costs.
