Threads should be clean and dry. Do
not lubricate wheel nuts or studs.
Proper Torque and Sequence
Proper wheel
torque can best be
obtained on level ground. Install lug
nuts and nger-tighten in the numerical
sequence as
shown below, see Nut
Tightening
Sequence for Hub Piloted
Disc Wheels
on page 5-142 or Nut
Tightening
Sequence for Stud Piloted
Disc Wheels
on page 5-143. This
procedure will ensure that the wheel is
drawn evenly against the hub. Torque
each nut to the torque value listed in
Wheel Cap
Nut Torque on page 5-141.
Tighten
wheel cap nuts properly. If
they are not tightened properly, wheel
nuts could eventually cause the wheel
to become loose, to fail, and/or to
come off while the vehicle is moving,
possibly causing loss of control and
may result in death, personal injury,
equipment or property damage.
