Wheel (With Tire) Removal And Installation: Installation
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to proper torque to avoid bending wheel or brake drum or disc as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing.
Installing wheels without good metal-to-metal contact at mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow wheel to come off while vehicle is moving.
