During the time that wheels are in service dirt and
other foreign matter accumulate around the wheel and hub area. Water and
road-salt can then lead to oxidation in the centre bore of the wheel. The
centring spigots and especially the uninterrupted centring edges of the hubs are
thereby causing the wheels to stick the hubs, so that it becomes difficult to
remove them.
To prevent wheels from sticking to hubs use
ALgrease before mounting the wheel to the hub. It is recommended to use ALgrease
each time wheels are fitted.
If sticking occurred, once the wheel has been
removed:
Clean spigots or centring edges of the hub as well as
the inner side of the hub bore of the wheel thoroughly with a wire brush to
remove traces of rust, oxides and dust
Apply a thin layer of ALgrease on the inner side of
the hub bore of the wheel and / or at the spigots or centring edge of the
hub
Do not apply ALgrease to the mating surfaces in the
mounting area of the hub or the disc of the wheel
