{WARNING
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust
or dirt off. SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat
on page 10‑61.
12. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting
surfaces and spare wheel.

nuts. See Capacities and
Specifications on page 12‑2 for
original equipment wheel nut
torque specifications.
