12-72 Simple inspection and service
NOTE:
The wheel nuts on the right-hand wheel are marked
with “R” and have right-hand threads. Those on the
left-hand wheel are marked with “L” and have left-
hand threads.
3. Jack up the vehicle until the tire is just clear of
the ground.
4. Remove the wheel nuts and then the tire.
5. To remove the rear dual wheel tires, first loosen
the outer wheel nuts and remove outer tire ;
then, lower the jack, loosen inner wheel nuts ,
and jack up the vehicle again to remove inner
tire .
3 Mounting the tire
1. Clean the following sections before mounting
the wheel. If they are dirty, the wheel nuts could
become loose during driving.
Threads on wheel bolts and nuts
Spherical surface of wheel nuts
Disc wheel mounting surface
Disc wheel mating surface
Wheel nut contact surface on disc wheel
Disc wheel inside surface
2. Apply a thin coat of chassis grease or wheel
bearing grease to threads on wheel bolts and
nuts and to the spherical surfaces of the nuts.
On dual wheels, also apply grease to the exter-
nal threads of the inner wheel nuts, the spher-
ical surfaces of the inner wheel nuts, and the
spherical surfaces of the outer wheel nuts.
WARNING
If wheel bolt or nut threads are damaged or
the disc wheel is cracked or otherwise dam-
aged, replace the wheel with a new genuine
part. A damaged wheel could work loose and
cause a serious accident while the vehicle is
in motion.
WARNING
Never use a grease that contains molybde-
num disulfide.
