14. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely tighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque, following the tightening order in the illustration.
OM-H0377
The torque for tightening the nuts is 58 to 72 ft-lb (78 to 98 N-m, 8 to 10
kg-m). This torque is equivalent to applying about 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50
kg) at the top of the wheel nut wrench. Never use your foot on the wheel
nut wrench or a pipe extension on the wrench because you may exceed
the specified torque. Have the wheel nut torque checked at the nearest
automotive service facility.
