MARK BLOCKER: Now we've got the wheel on, we need to install the lug nuts. In this segment,
we're going to cover installing the lug nuts or wheel and lug nuts part two. In order to
tighten this down put the [SOUNDS LIKE] quick torque application onto, I'm going to need
to lock up this rear tire. So, if I apply the rear brake at this time, that should hold
the wheel tight while I torque down the lug nuts. Okay, now I've got the rear brake applied,
and as we're doing the front brakes, the piston is collapsed all the way in and you need to
pump the brakes several times in order to get the piston come back out and make contact.
Sometimes, that's required before the parking brakes will work correctly. So, I went ahead
and pump the brakes about five times to just to slow even pressure down to the floor and
that builds up, get the calipers move back out to where they're making contact with the
rotors prior applying brake pressure. Set the parking brake. So, it's locked up. Now
I can apply the necessary torque needed to get these tightened down correctly. I'm going
back and forth in a star pattern. And the star pattern is kinda hard do when there's
four 'cause it's not really a star, you just want to crisscross with a five-bolt system,
then you can go to a star pattern. A little bit more, it's easier to explain, you can
understand how it works. You kinda seems like an oxymoron of sorts to those star pattern
with four bolts 'cause that's crisscrosses; it is how you want to do it. Now, I've done
all four. I'm going to go ahead and check them again. And after I've done this, I'll
go ahead and test drive the vehicle and after any time I work on vehicle, I'll test drive
it. Any time I work on a vehicle where I've had the wheels off, after the test drive,
I'll recheck those lug nut torques. Now that I've got the wheel on and the lug nuts tightened,
watch our next segment on lowering the vehicle.
