Installing the Phoenix USA DOT Sim Set (GD816) is a straightforward process. Please follow these steps carefully:
Preparation: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Gather all the components of the kit, including the front and rear simulators, mounting hardware, and the installation tool.
Identify Front and Rear Simulators: The front simulators will typically be less deep (dished out) and may have a pop-out center cap. The rear simulators will be deeper to accommodate the dual wheel setup.
Position the Simulator: Take one of the front wheel simulators and align it with the lug nuts on your front wheel. Ensure the stud holes on the simulator correspond with the position of your wheel studs.
Secure the Simulator (Front): Using the provided mounting hardware (typically specialized nuts or brackets), attach the simulator over the existing lug nuts. Tighten the hardware evenly and securely using the installation tool. Do not overtighten. If your front wheels have manual locking hubs, ensure the pop-out center cap is accessible or removed as needed.
Position the Simulator (Rear – Outer): Take one of the outer rear wheel simulators and align it with the lug nuts on the outer rear wheel. Again, ensure the stud holes match the stud positions.
Secure the Simulator (Rear – Outer): Attach the outer rear simulator over the lug nuts using the provided mounting hardware, tightening evenly and securely with the installation tool.
Position the Simulator (Rear – Inner): Carefully position the inner rear wheel simulator, ensuring it aligns correctly with the wheel. This simulator will likely be held in place by the outer simulator. If valve stem extensions are included, install them at this stage according to their specific instructions, typically mounting using the jam nuts of the wheel cover.
Final Check: Once all four simulators are installed, double-check that all mounting hardware is securely fastened. Ensure the simulators are sitting flush against the wheels.
Refer to Instructions: Always consult the included instruction sheet for any specific details or variations in the installation process for your particular vehicle.
