off any spilled oil.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
q After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
q Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.

q Lock nuts are unreusable parts; always use new ones.
When replacing, do not wipe the oil off the new lock nut before tightening.
