Article: Tighten the lug nuts in a crossing patterning, opposing fashion so the wheel goes on straight.  Example: If you have five lugs, tighten them across the wheel like drawing a star pattern with a pencil by criss-crossing back and forth.  The first time, the pedal may go down a ways, but the pedal should be high and firm after two or three times.  This seats the pads against the rotors.  Otherwise you may find out the hard way that your brakes aren't working. During an actual test drive, make sure the car doesn't pull, that there are no funny scraping or clunking noises, and that the brakes are working correctly.

What is a summary?
Put the wheels back on. Check the brake fluid level and fill as necessary. Sit in the driver's seat and push slowly on the brake pedal a few times. Check for leaks at the brake hoses if you've replaced the calipers. Lower the car and perform a "mini" test drive, with wheel blocks situated a little behind and in front of the vehicles front and rear tires to allow some short movements rolling back and forth to test the brakes. Retorque the lug nuts to be sure they are tight and put the hubcaps/wheel covers on.
