Ford Lug Nut Tightening Sequence Diagram - 5, 8 & 10 Lug Wheels (1978 Bronco)

This document is a wheel lug nut tightening sequence diagram from a Ford service reference. It shows three circular wheel hub illustrations, each depicting the lug stud positions with numbered tightening order. The first diagram covers a 5-lug wheel, showing the star-pattern order in which the five lug nuts should be tightened (1, 3, 4, 5, 2 around the hub). The second diagram covers an 8-lug wheel, common on heavier-duty trucks, with its cross-pattern tightening order numbered 1 through 8. The third diagram shows a 10-lug wheel specifically labeled for the F-Super Duty P40/P45 chassis, with its ten lug positions numbered 1 through 10 in the proper crisscross sequence. The central instruction reads 'TIGHTEN LUG NUTS IN THIS SEQUENCE.' A reader can learn the correct alternating (star/cross) pattern for torquing lug nuts on 5-, 8-, and 10-lug Ford wheels, which helps seat the wheel evenly against the hub and prevents brake rotor or drum distortion. No torque values, part numbers, or model years are given in the document itself; it is purely a graphical sequence reference. It was uploaded to a 1978 Ford Bronco gallery as part of a larger set of service diagrams.
