8. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug
nuts in the order shown. Refer toWheel lug
nut torque specificationslater in this
chapter for the proper lug nut torque
specification.
Stowing the flat/spare tire and jack
1. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack kit is
secured in its original location and orientation in the jack kit recess
under the flat/spare tire. Unblock the wheels.
Note:If you are stowing a flat 22 inch tire and wheel assembly,
temporarily remove the load floor, plastic stowage bins (if equipped), and
the foam load floor supports to make space. Place the 22 inch tire &
wheel assembly in the spare tire well with the valve stem facing down.
Rotate the tire until the jack assembly is able to protrude through a
wheel opening. Replace the plastic stowage bins (if equipped) and foam
load floor supports around the 22 inch tire and wheel assembly.
Note:If you are stowing a flat tire, place the tire in the spare tire well
with the valve stem facing down. Rotate the tire until the jack assembly
is able to protrude through a wheel opening.
Note:If you are stowing the spare tire, place the spare in the spare tire
well in its original position.
2. Secure the wheel by replacing the washer and the wing nut and
turning the wing nut clockwise.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 km)
after any wheel disturbance (rotation, flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
Note:Inspect the wheel pilot hole (1) and
mounting surface prior to installation.
Remove any visible corrosion or loose
particles.
