WHEELS, RIMS AND TIRES3.Draw up stud nuts alternately following thesequence (crisscross pattern) illustrated inFigure 40. Do not fully tighten the nuts at thistime. This procedure will allow a uniform seatingof nuts and insure the even face-to-face contactof wheel and hub.4.Continue tightening the nuts to the torquespecifications in the Torque Chart using thesame alternating method shown in Figure 40.5.Install the outer rear wheel and repeat thepreceding method. Be sure that both inner andouter tire valve stems are accessible.Figure 40. - Disc Wheel Tightening Sequence6.After operating the vehicle approximately 80 km(50 miles) check the stud nuts for tightness.Some natural seating of parts may beencountered and the torque on nuts will drop.Retighten all nuts to specified torque.To check and tighten the Inner wheel to propertorque, first loosen the outer wheel nuts severalturns and tighten the Inner nuts, then retightenthe outer nuts.To prevent losing the seating of the outer wheelwhen checking the Inner wheel torque, It issuggested that alternates outer nuts be loosenedand retighten, the outer nuts. Then loosen theremaining outer nuts, tighten inner nut and thenretighten the outer nuts.Once each week lnspect and retorque wheelstud nub.Disc Wheels with Flange NutsRefer to Figure 41 for cross section view of flange nut1.Slide inner rear or front tire and wheel in positionover Suds and push back as far as possible.Use over so that the threads on studs are notdamaged.2.Position outer rear tire and wheel In place overthe studs and push back as far as possible.Again use care so that the threads on studs arenot damaged.3.Run the nuts on the studs until nuts contact thewheel or wheels. Rotate wheel assembly a halfturn to permit parts to seat.4.Draw up nuts alternately following the(crisscross) sequence Illustrated in Figure 40.Do not fully tighten nuts at this time. This willallow uniform seating of nuts and assure evenface-to-face contact of wheel and hub.5.Continue tightening the nuts to torquespecifications in the Torque Chart using thesame alternating sequence shown in Figure 40.Figure 41CTS-4148APage 21
