{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come 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.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque speci cation. SeeCapacities
and Specifications on page 5-103for wheel nut
torque speci cation.
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 speci cation. SeeCapacities and
Specifications on page 5-103for the wheel nut
torque speci cation.11. Tighten the wheel nuts
rmly in a crisscross
sequence as shown by
turning the wheel
wrench clockwise.
When you reinstall the regular wheel and tire, you must
also reinstall the center cap. Place the cap on the
wheel and tap it into place until it seats ush with the
wheel. The cap only goes on one way. Be sure to line up
the tab on the center cap with the indentation on the
wheel.
For the Xtreme, tighten each nut cap by hand, then
tighten an additional one quarter of a turn with the
wheel wrench.
