2009 Ford Fusion ... Front Proc 1 Note ... Front Proc 2 Note ... Do not attempt to tighten the nut with the vehicle on the ground or the wheel bearing will be ...
Dec. 2, 2019 - Im replacing the front wheel bearing assemble this weekend and cant find the torque spec for the ale nut. The older model Fusion (up to 2012) ...
Causes are the mounting surface of the the rotor or drum not clean when wheel was installed, wheel bent, suspension damaged, wheels not torques down correctly or left loose.
This is going to sound crude but it's what most shops do...... put one or two lugs back on a couple of turns so the wheel does not fly off and with the vehicle supported on a good stable jack, take a heavy pipe, baseball bat or just use both your feet while sitting directly in front of the tire and give it a really hard shot at the bottom. (strike the tire, not the wheel ...if you have aluminum wheels). 'The reason it gets stuck is that corrosion forms where the center hole of the wheel goes over the wheel flange hub. Make sure to clean that well and put a swipe of grease there before putting the wheel back on.
Make sure that your wheels sit flat against the hub flange and that the center hole fits the protrusion on the hub. Clean all rust and corrosion from both the hub and the wheel mating surface. When tightening, use a star pattern, tightening one lug part way, semi-tight, then doing the one opposite it and so on, 'till you are back at the first one. Once all are semi tight, torque each to about 75 to 80 foot pounds in the same pattern. Normally you should not need to do this third step, but drive around normally for about an hour, then re check the lug tightness again with the torque wrench. Never use a wheel that either does not fit exactly or one that has been damaged at the lug holes by running loose. Make sure all wheel studs are in good condition. Any damaged by a loose wheel must be replaced. One rule for aftermarket wheels. You need to have at least the same amount of threads inside the lug nut as the diameter of the lug. (a 1/2" stud needs to have at least 1/2" of threaded area inside the nut...more is better)
Changing tires on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler is no different than a typical vehicle. Any local service facility can help out.
If you are wanting to do it yourself:
1. Break the torque on the lug nuts while the vehicle is still on the ground.
2. Jack up the axle using the jack in the trunk (under the panel in the trunk floor)
3. Remove the wheel and tire
4. Replace with the spare or a new tire
5. Tighten the lug nuts to 85-90 ft-lb of torque, make sure you tighten in a star pattern.
