Wheel Inspection
Inspect all wheels for cracks or other damage. Replace damaged wheels promptly. Do not
operate the vehicle if wheels are damaged or cracked.
Wheel Removal
1. Position the vehicle on a firm, level surface.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Engage the park brake.
4. Position an appropriate floor jack under the frame at the side or rear of the vehicle, near
the wheel to be removed.
5. If removing the rear wheel, place wheel chocks at the front of both front wheels to
prevent rolling.
6. Elevate the vehicle until the wheel is slightly off the ground.
7. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel.
Wheel Installation
1. With the transmission in gear and the park brake set, place the wheel on the wheel hub.
Be sure the valve stem is toward the outside and rotation arrows on the tire point toward
forward rotation.
2. Install the wheel nuts and finger-tighten them.
NOTE: On vehicles with tapered rear wheel nuts, make sure the tapered end of the nut goes into the
taper on the wheel.
3. Tighten all wheel nuts to specification.
Torque: 75 ft-lbs (102 Nm)
4. Lower the vehicle and remove the floor jack.
