Put the wheel nuts back on with the rounded end of the nuts toward the wheel after mounting the spare. {CAUTION: Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose and even come off.

See Capacities and Specifications on page 5-118 for wheel nut torque specification. Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper torque specification. See Capacities and Specifications on page 5-118 for the wheel nut torque specification. 7. Tighten each wheel nut by hand.
