| 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
the faces of the disc of the wheel and the hub that are in contact |
|
|
| 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 |
