CAUTION
Wheel nuts should be tightened with a torque
wrench, using a socket wrench and wrench han-
dle should be done in emergencies only. Use a
torque wrench to check the torque as soon as
possible after using a socket wrench and
wrench handle to tighten the wheel nuts.
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.
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. If the nuts are tightened
loosely or too tight, parts may be damaged
and wheels may come off. Such status
may lead to impossibility of driving, and
result in damage of the vehicle and physi-
cal injury.
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.
