Wheel bolt, replacing

Note
It is not necessary to remove the wheel when replacing one or more wheel bolts.

If all wheel bolts are to be replaced, replace one at a time and torque tighten as follows.

Aluminium wheel

Oil the bolt threads.

Tightening torque: 110 Nm (81 lbf ft)

Pressed steel wheels

Tightening torque: 50 Nm +90° +90°, max 110 Nm (37 lbf ft +90° +90°, max 81 lbf ft)

Note
To avoid tightening the bolts too hard when fitting steel wheels, angle tighten with a torque wrench set to 110 Nm (81 lbf ft). If the torque wrench indicates that 110 Nm (81 lbf ft) has been reached, stop tightening.
