WHEEL BOLTS (OR CONE NUTS)
If you remove a wheel from a hub it is very important to properly tighten the
wheel bolts when you reinstall the wheel.
Mount the wheel on the hub and start the wheel bolts into the hub as far as
possible by hand. Then, using a proper lug wrench, tighten each wheel bolt
moderately tight. Work your way around the wheel, tightening the bolts per
diagram below until all bolts have been tightened. Then work your way around
the wheel again, using the same bolt tightening sequence, and tighten each bolt
to torque recommended by the trailer manufacturer.
It is important that the wheel be centered on the hub. The wheel may reseat
itself slightly during the first miles of travel after installation. After 100-200 miles
of travel, check wheel bolt tightness. Check periodically thereafter.
