Do not grease the threads
of bolts before installing
them; they might slip out.
The bolts should be tightened to a
torque of 86 Nm (8.8 kgm).
You are advised to have the wheel
bolt tightening checked by Alfa

soon as possible.
Indeed, insufficient tightening may
cause the wheel bolts to slacken

sequences. Excessive tightening
can strain the bolts.
