Preparation: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Gather all components of the Phoenix USA DOT Wheel Simulator Kit, including the simulators, mounting hardware, and installation tool.
Position the Front Simulator: Take one of the front wheel simulators (identified by its dished design and potentially a pop-out center cap). Align it carefully over the wheel, ensuring the lug nut holes on the simulator match the position of your vehicle's lug nuts.
Install Mounting Hardware (Front): Place the provided mounting brackets or clips over the existing lug nuts. The exact type of hardware may vary slightly, so refer to the included instruction sheet for specific details. Ensure they are seated securely against the wheel.
Secure the Front Simulator: Position the front simulator so that the pre-drilled holes align with the installed mounting hardware. Use the provided installation tool (typically a wrench or socket) to tighten the simulator onto the mounting hardware. Do not overtighten; snug is sufficient. If your vehicle has manual locking hubs, ensure the pop-out center of the simulator is accessible.
Position the Rear Simulator: Take one of the rear wheel simulators (identified by its deeper dished design). Align it carefully over the outer rear wheel, ensuring the lug nut holes on the simulator match the position of the lug nuts.
Install Mounting Hardware (Rear): Similar to the front, place the provided mounting brackets or clips over the existing lug nuts on the outer rear wheel. Ensure they are seated securely.
Secure the Rear Simulator: Position the rear simulator so that the pre-drilled holes align with the installed mounting hardware. Use the installation tool to tighten the simulator onto the mounting hardware. Again, avoid overtightening.
Repeat for Remaining Wheels: Follow steps 2-7 for the remaining front and rear wheels.
Final Check: Once all simulators are installed, double-check that they are securely fastened and that there is no movement. If your kit includes valve extensions, install them as per the provided instructions.
