(Continued)
remove  them   with  your   fingers.
Slide the  wheel off  the studs  and
lay it flat so it  cannot roll away.  To
put the wheel  on the hub,  pick up
the  spare  tire,  line  up the  holes
with the studs and slide  the wheel
onto them. If this is difficult, tip the
wheel slightly and get the top hole
in the  wheel lined up  with the top
stud. Then  jiggle  the wheel  back
and  forth until  the  wheel  can  be
slid over the other studs.
If there  is, remove it.  If there is
not good contact on the mount-
ing  surface between  the wheel
and  hub, the  wheel nuts  could
come loose and  cause the loss
of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result  in loss  of  control of  the
vehicle.This  may cause serious
injury or death.

Then position  the wrench  as shown
in the drawing and  tighten the wheel
nuts.  Be sure  the  socket  is  seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand
on  the   wrench  handle  or   use  an
extension pipe over the wrench  han-
dle. Go around  the wheel  tightening
every other nut until they are all tight.
Then   double-check   each   nut   for
tightness.   After  changing   wheels,
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.

To reinstall  the wheel,  hold it on
the studs,  put the wheel  nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight.The nuts should be installed
with their tapered small  diameter
ends directed  inward. Jiggle  the
tire  to  be  sure  it  is  completely
seated, then  tighten the  nuts as
much  as possible  with  your  fin-
gers again.
WARNING
Wheels may  have sharp edges.
Handle  them carefully  to avoid
possible  severe  injury.   Before
putting the wheel  into place, be
sure that there is nothing on the
hub or wheel (such  as mud, tar,
gravel,  etc.)  that  prevents   the
wheel
against the hub.
