Protecting Wheel Centering Seat Against Corrosion

Protecting Wheel Centering Seat Against Corrosion

Applies To Light-Alloy And Steel Wheels

When a wheel is changed, the centering seat should be sprayed with wax spray to prevent corrosion between the centering seat and the wheel rim. Refer to Parts Catalog.

- Remove the wheel.

- Thoroughly clean the centering seat on the wheel hub and the centering surface on the rim.

- Apply wax in area of centering - arrow - using a brush.






Always make sure that only centering - arrow - is waxed and not rim contact surfaces. As a consequence, the brakes would become contaminated while driving and thereby result in poor braking.

Wheel bolts, contact surfaces of wheel/wheel hub and the threads in the wheel hubs must not have wax applied to them. Never apply lubricants or anti-corrosion treatment to threads in wheel hubs.

- Install the wheel and tighten the wheel bolts. Refer to => [ Wheel Bolt Tightening Specifications ] Specifications.
