7.
Fit the wheel nuts and tighten these evenly
according to the sequence in the drawing.
A pneumatic spanner may be used for this
purpose, but its tightening torque is not very
reliable.
It will therefore be necessary to retighten
the wheel nuts to the specified torque using
a torque wrench. For the specified
tightening torque, see “Technical data”.
Note:
Wheel nuts should always be tightened and
retightened in cold condition. However,
wheel studs should not be tightened in
extremely cold conditions.
8.
Check the tyre pressure.
9.
Retorque the wheel nuts using a torque
wrench after 100 km. If new wheel studs
are fitted, they need additional retorquing
after 500 km.
