A CALIBRATED TORQUE DEVICE MUST BE USED TO ACHIEVE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. • Use your vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification for proper lug nut tightening. • If there is no specification in the vehicle owner’s manual check with the aftermarket wheel manufacturer or retailer/installer for a specification. IMPORTANT: Check new fasteners against the vehicle wrench making sure they are same size. If the new fasteners have a different hex size than the original equipment wrench provided with vehicle, be sure to advise the customer that a correct size wrench will be required to remove the new aftermarket fasteners being installed.
Clean and inspect all stud threads and mounting surfaces before installation. Threads must not be lubricated, but must be free of corrosion, rust, burrs, fractures and damaged threads. Replace studs if they are corroded, stripped, damaged, or if any fractures are found. Always use new fasteners (lug nuts or lug bolts) when installing new wheels. BEFORE YOU BEGIN PROPER INSTALLATION TIPS
AFTER INSTALLATION
Lug nuts must be tightened in a star or crisscross pattern to ensure uniform pressure and alignment. Apply torque evenly by repeating the star or crisscross pattern until desired torque is reached.
Fasteners should be retorqued at about 25 miles. Retorquing must be done at any time the fasteners are removed. Write the specified torque requirement on owner’s wheel documents and review the complete instructions with the customer. Advise the customer to keep the documents with the vehicle owner’s manual and pass it along to any new owner of the vehicle. If wheel locks are installed, make sure the key is given to the customer. It is always a good idea to have the customer review, initial and sign the safety checklist provided by the wheel manufacturer.
