torque required for the wheel. Use a calibrated torque
wrench, and tighten each bolt in increments of 25
percent of the specified torque value in a crisscross
order until the total torque value required for each bolt
in the wheel has been reached.
NOTE: When lubtork is specified on the
wheel half, coat all the treads and bearing
surfaces of the bolt heads with MIL-T-5544
antiseize compound.
Lubtork must not be
used on magnesium wheels. For magnesium
wheels, you should use MIL-G-21164
lubricant. All excessive lubricant should be
removed.
Before mounting tubeless tires, check the tire
side wall for the word tubless. Tires without this
marking should be treated as tube tires. When you
mount tubeless tires, install the valve stem (valve core
removed) in the wheel assembly. Removing the valve
core prevents unseating of the wheel seal by the
pressure built up when the tire is installed. Insert one
