1997 CHEVROLET CORVETTE wheel torque

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
I
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after
a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you change
a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use
a cloth or paper towel to
do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush
later, if you need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
If you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel could
fall off, causing a serious accident.
~
A 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.
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.

Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how
it’s been used or
how far
it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Using the Wheel Lock Key
The wheel lock key sits in a small depression in
the trunk rail directly under the left-hand rear
compartment cover.
Your vehicle wheel lock key has a unique registration
number. The registration number is printed on a card
included
in your lock nut package. Also on this card is
lost key replacement information. This number is not
recorded by
GM or your dealer, so be sure not to lose
this card. You will need the information if you ever lose
your wheel lock key.
If you or someone else is going to remove the wheels on
your vehicle, make sure that the special wheel nut socket
and wheel lock key are being used.
NOTICE:
Your wheels could be damaged if the wheel
nut socket is not used
to remove your
vehicle’s wheels.
The wheel nut socket can be used with an air wrench or
a torque wrench. The wheel lock key can
be used with a
torque wrench, but not with an air or impact wrench.
NOTICE:
Your wheel lock key or lock nuts could be
damaged if an
air or impact wrench is used with
this key.
