Use the same or equivalent parts if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Tighten fasteners as specified.

NOTICE: Do not use air tools to install the wheel stud. The serrations in the hub flange can be stripped.

NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 4) to allow the wheel stud to seat against the hub flange.
Position the wheel stud in the axle flange, making sure that the serrations are aligned with those made by the original wheel stud.

2. Position washers and a wheel nut on the wheel stud and tighten the wheel nut until the stud is seated against the hub flange.
