$Threads must not be lubricated, but must be free of corrosion, rust, burrs, fractures and damaged threads. Replace studs if they are corroded, stripped, damaged, or if any fractures are found.$ Always use new fasteners (lug nuts or lug bolts) when installing new wheels. Lug nuts must be tightened in a star or crisscross pattern to ensure uniform pressure and alignment.

Always use new fasteners (lug nuts or lug bolts) when installing new wheels. Lug nuts must be tightened in a star or crisscross pattern to ensure uniform pressure and alignment.

28 Gorilla Tech Tips PROPER INSTALLATION TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN Clean and inspect all stud threads and mounting surfaces before installation. Threads must not be lubricated, but must be free of corrosion, rust, burrs, fractures and damaged threads. Replace studs if they are corroded, stripped, damaged, or if any fractures are found. Always use new fasteners (lug nuts or lug bolts) when installing new wheels. Lug nuts must be tightened in a star or crisscross pattern to ensure uniform pressure and alignment. Apply torque evenly by repeating the star or crisscross pattern until desired torque is reached. During installation, gravity causes the wheel to rest upon the highest stud. If the wheel is clamped down off-centered, it can be dangerous and damaging to your wheels and tires over time. Never use fewer lug nuts than the wheel and vehicle was designed for. If the wheel has 5 holes, then use 5 lug nuts. Do not allow the wheel to hang on studs during the initial tightening; make certain wheel is centered and wheel supported prior to tightening fasteners. 28

29 ATTENTION: The information provided is ONLY a guide. To insure proper lug nut, lug bolt or wheel lock selection, refer to your current lug nut to determine correct lug nut style and thread size for your vehicle. PROPER INSTALLATION TIPS Torque Guidelines A calibrated torque device must be used to achieve proper torque specifications. Use Original Equipment Manufacturer s torque specification. If it is not specified in the vehicle owner s manual contact the vehicle manufacturer. If the Original Manufacturer does not provide a specification, check with the aftermarket wheel manufacturer for a specification. In the event that neither the vehicle manufacturer nor the aftermarket wheel manufacturer give you the specification, the following may serve as a guideline for passenger cars and light-trucks only: Stud Diameter Torque Range (Ft/lbs) 12MM MM / / / / IMPORTANT: Check new fasteners against the vehicle wrench making sure they are same size. If the new fasteners have a different hex size than the original equipment wrench provided with vehicle, be sure to advise the customer that a correct size wrench will be required to remove the new aftermarket fasteners being installed. (more installation information on next page) 29

Gorilla Tech Tips AFTER INSTALLATION Fasteners should be retorqued at about 25 miles. Retorquing must be done at any time the fasteners are removed.

Advise the customer to keep the documents with the vehicle owner s manual and pass it along to any new owner of the vehicle.

30 Gorilla Tech Tips AFTER INSTALLATION Fasteners should be retorqued at about 25 miles. Retorquing must be done at any time the fasteners are removed. Write the specified torque requirement on owner s wheel documents and review the complete instructions with the customer. Advise the customer to keep the documents with the vehicle owner s manual and pass it along to any new owner of the vehicle. If wheel locks are installed, make sure the key is given to the customer. It is always a good idea to have the customer review, initial and sign the safety checklist provided by the wheel manufacturer. Each set of Gorilla Locks comes with a key code label, complete with ordering information for replacement keys. 30
