does not occur to threads on studs.

DO NOT tighten them fully until they have

been seated.

CAUTION

Insufficient mounting torque can allow wheel

movement and breakage at low mileage. Exces-

sive mounting torque can cause stud breakage,

bolt hole chamfer burns and disc cracks in the bolt

hole area.

(4) Tighten nuts fully, using the same alternating

sequence. Torque nuts to 450-500 ft-lbs

(612-680 N.m).

(5) Repeat steps 2-4 for outer dual wheel.

IMPORTANT

After the first 50 to 100 miles (80 to 160 km) of service, recheck

torque on wheel nuts, including inner cap nuts on duals. When

inner cap nuts are retighten, be sure to first loosen outer cap

nuts several turns, tighten inner cap nuts and retighten outer cap

nuts. Reset to recommended torque levels.
