Align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the
wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole.

by hand. Press the tire back and see if you can tighten them
more.

9. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel
nuts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle.
Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use
other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands,
such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench
is securely engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat
the process until all the nuts are tight.
CAUTION
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of
your body and all other persons around will not be
injured as the vehicle is lowered to the ground.
As soon as possible after changing wheels, have the
wheel nuts tightened by torque wrench at 103 N´m
(10.5 kgf´m, 76 ft´lbf.).
