3F-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence given in figure and to
proper torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc.
NOTE:
Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on
wheel mounting surface and brake 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 a wheel to come off while
vehicle is moving.
Tightening Torque
(a): 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)

TIRE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING

Use a tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or
tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or
wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or demounting a tire, bead area should be well lubricated with
approved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to specified pressure shown on tire placard
so that beads are completely seated.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break
when bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause seri-
ous personal injury.
Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating. If spe-
cified pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate
and reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause seri-
ous personal injury.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
