{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to come loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident. Be sure to use
the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure to get new GM
original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. See
Capacities and Specifications on page 518
for wheel nut torque specification.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can
lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly
tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence
and to the proper torque specification. See
Capacities and Specifications on page 518 for
the wheel nut torque specification.

must also reinstall the wheel cover with attached
plastic nuts, the plastic nut caps, or the smooth
center cap.

attached plastic nuts, place it on the wheel and
tighten the nuts by hand to get them started.
Then tighten the nut caps with the wheel
wrench until they are snug. Do not overtighten
the nut caps or they may break.
• If you are reinstalling plastic nut caps, tighten
the nuts by hand to get them started. Then
