Wheel Changing, 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 the 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.
Note
Always make sure that only centering -arrow- is waxed and not
rim contact surfaces. As a consequence, the brakes would be‐
come contaminated while driving and thereby result in poor brak‐
ing.
WARNING
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. Refer to
⇒ “1.1 Wheel Bolt Tightening Specifications”, page 286
