## Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Disc Type - Single

### Removal Procedure

Caution: To avoid eye injury, use approved safety lenses, goggles, or face shield to prevent eye injury when deflating tires.

Important: When removing and demounting any tire and wheel assembly, deflate the tire by removing the valve core. Perform this procedure before removing the tire assembly from the vehicle.

1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor. Support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Remove the wheel nuts.
3. Remove the wheel from the hub.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with hub-piloted wheels, use a brush in order to apply a thin coat of Frey Lube II® lubricant or equivalent to the hub pads only.

### Installation Procedure

1. If the vehicle is equipped with hub-piloted wheels, turn the hub so that a hub pad is at a 12 o'clock position.
2. Install the wheel on the hub.

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.

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

3. For 8-hole aluminum or steel hub-piloted wheels, install the wheel nuts.

## Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Disc Type - Dual

### Removal Procedure

Caution: To avoid eye injury, use approved safety lenses, goggles, or face shield to prevent eye injury when deflating tires.

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.

Important: When removing and demounting any tire and wheel assembly, deflate the tire by removing the valve core. Perform this procedure before removing the tire assembly from the vehicle.

1. Break the wheel nuts loose.
2. Raise and support the vehicle until the tire clears the floor. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Remove the wheel nuts.
4. Remove the wheel from the hub.
5. If applicable, remove the stud nuts from the inner wheel.
6. If applicable, remove the inner wheel from the hub.

### Installation Procedure

1. If the vehicle is equipped with hub-piloted wheels, use a brush in order to apply a thin coat of Frey Lube II® lubricant or equivalent to the hub pads only.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with hub-piloted wheels, turn the hub so that a hub pad is at a 12 o'clock position.

Notice: Stud-piloted hubs' inner and outer stud nuts used on the right side of the vehicle have right-hand threads. Inner and outer nuts are stamped with the letter L to signify left or R to signify right. Care should be exercised to prevent trying to use the wrong thread nut as damage to the stud threads could occur.

2. When the tire runs true, tighten all of the wheel nuts to 271 N·m (200 lb ft) in the sequence shown.

## Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Cast Type - Dual

### Removal Procedure

Caution: When removing dual tires and rims from cast-type wheels, loosen all the nuts approximately flush with the end of the studs. Do not remove the nuts until the clamps and rim are loose. The clamps may fly off the studs causing personal injury.

1. Raise the vehicle and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts until the nuts are flush with the ends of the studs.
3. Remove the stud nuts.
4. Remove the rim clamps.

Notice: Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening or repair damage from striking curbs, etc. Do not weld wheels. The alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.

5. Inspect the rim spacer for an out-of-round condition or for damage.
6. Inspect the rim for the following conditions:

• | Cracks

• | Bends

• | Breaks

7. If damage is evident, inspect the rim for wheel runout.

### Installation Procedure

1. Install the spacer over the wheel.
2. Do not cock the rim spacer.

• | Fit the rim spacer snugly to the spokes and against the inside the rim gutter edge.

• | Inspect for roundness by turning the rim spacer on the wheel.

• | Install the outer rim with the valve stem as close to 180 degrees from the inner rim valve stem as possible.
