10. Tighten the nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence as shown. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise. 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. 11. Put the wheel cover back on, or put the center cap and plastic wheel nut caps back on. Remove any wheel blocks. CAUTION: Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose and even come off. This could lead to an accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have to replace them, be sure to get new GM original equipment wheel nuts. Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 140 lb-ft (190 N·m). Remember that the jack, jacking equipment and tire must be properly stored in their original storage position before you begin driving again. The next part will show you how. 5-31
