Wheels: Service and Repair
Hub Mounting Flange
Corrosion build-up can result in wheels sticking to the hub flange or front disc brake rotor flange after extensive service. To prevent this from
recurring once the wheels are removed, use the following procedure:
1. Clean rotor flange and wheel bore of corrosion with wire brush, steel wool or other suitable material.
2. Coat wheel bore with Disc Brake Caliper Slide Grease D7AZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C172-A. Do not apply
grease to lug nut seats or lug nut.
3. Install wheel on vehicle.
