Installation Instructions
- Raise the vehicle so that all 6 tires are off the ground 1 inch. If the vehicle comes with simulators, remove all 6 simulators.
- Remove the front wheels and install the front two stems as you would any metal valve stem, rebalance, reinstall on the front of the vehicle and torque to factory specs.
-
Right Rear Duals
- Remove right rear duals.
-
Starting with the inside dual,
- Remove old stem, pick up long straight inner stem, remove nut, concave metal washer, and 3 mm rubber washer.
- Apply blue thread locker to threads on stem and insert stem through valve stem hole in wheel.
- Install 3 mm rubber washer, concave metal washer and nut.
- Position Red line on stem so it faces the tire.
- Torque nut to 35-45 inch pounds.
- Balance wheel and remove from balancer laying face up on the floor.
-
Proceed to the outer dual,
- Remove old stem. Remove curved outer stem from the kit and remove nut, concave washer, and 3 mm rubber washer.
- Apply blue thread locker to the threads on the stem and insert stem through valve stem hole in the wheel.
- Install 3 mm rubber washer, concave metal washer and nut.
- Torque to 35-45 inch pounds.
- Now take that wheel to the balancer making sure that the valve stem is at the 6 o'clock position when placing it on the balancer. Once that tire and wheel are balanced make sure before you take it off the balancer the valve stem is at the 6 o'clock position again!
- Remove wheel from balancer and carefully stack it on top of the inside dual that is on the floor.
- Position the stems 180 out from each other (directly across from each other). Line up all lug nut holes.
- Now is the time to check fitment of rear simulator. If needed reposition long inner stem (bend).
- If fitment is okay, remove simulator, take wheels back to the vehicle, and install inner wheel with the valve stem at the 12 o'clock position.
- Install the outer wheel with the valve stem at the 6 o'clock position making sure that the air thru caps are not on at this time.
- Torque lug nuts to factory specs.
- Now install the 2 inch rubber stabilizer in the outer wheel over the inner valve stem. (It may be necessary to relocate the hole in the rubber stabilizer by elongating it.)
- Repeat step 3 on the left side of the vehicle.
- Install all simulators and air through valve caps.
Note
- This kit takes one good tire technician approximately 2 to 2.5 hours from start to finish to complete.
- This dually kit works with 95% of all simulators on the market today. The other 5% will have to be modified slightly. (If modification is needed, make a small notch to allow the simulator to clear the outer wheel's valve stem.) Do NOT try to modify the outer valve stem.
