Now I'm gonna take a 22-millimeter socket. Take these lug nuts off. I'm gonna take this wheel off. Just gonna to spray this down with some rust penetrant, the bolts and nuts are a little rusty. I'm just gonna use a 19-millimeter wrench to hold the stud from spinning and then an 18-millimeter socket to take the nut off. And then use an 18-millimeter wrench on the nut and 18-millimeter socket on the bolt, take the bolt out. Just slide it out. And use a pry bar. Just try to slide it out. There we go. All right, slide the new link in position. Use a rubber mallet, tap it in place, or a dead blow hammer, and slide the bolt through, put the nut on, and then get the nut started down below as well. Now I'm gonna tighten this bolt to 48 foot-pounds. And then I'm gonna use an 18-millimeter wrench on the stud and tighten this nut to 48 foot-pounds. Take the wheel, put the wheel back on. Put the lug nuts back on. Now I'm gonna tighten these lug nuts to 140 foot-pounds in a cross pattern or star pattern so that it tightens the wheel down evenly. All right, and I'll just go around again. Double-check. Good.
