Wheels: Service and Repair
Wheel centering seat, protecting against corrosion
Valid for light metal- and steel wheels
When replacing wheel, wheel centering seat should be waxed with
Wax spray ET.-No. D 322 000 A2
in order to prevent corrosion between wheel centering seat and rim.
- Remove wheel.
- Always clean wheel centering seat at wheel hub and center of rim.
- Apply wax in area of the centering -arrow- using a brush.
Always make sure that only the centering -arrow- is waxed and not the rim contact surfaces. Consequences of this would be a soiling of the brakes during vehicle operation and poor braking performance would result.
WARNING: Wheel bolts, contact surfaces of wheel/wheel hub and threads in wheel hub must not be waxed. Threads of wheel bolts must never be handled with grease or corrosion protection agents!
