Wheel Installation front

Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 339545  Size: SH

    Notice: Wheel hub flanges, wheel studs, and stud nuts should be free of rust, lubricants, dirt, and finish color paint on all contact surfaces to ensure proper torque retention.

  1. Apply a thin coat of grease to the hub pads in order to prevent corrosion.
  2. Turn the hub so that a hub pad is at a 12 o'clock position.
  3. Install the wheel on the hub.

  4. Object Number: 340337  Size: SH

    Important: Tighten the wheel nuts progressively using the first specification; then retighten the nuts using the second specification.

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  5. Install the wheel nuts.
  6. Tighten

        • Tighten the wheel nut to 100 N·m (74 lb ft) in the sequence shown.
        • Tighten the wheel nut to 550 N·m (400 lb ft) in the sequence shown.
