Wheels: Procedures
Protecting Wheel Centering Seat against Corrosion
Applies to alloy and steel wheels
When a wheel is changed, the centering seat should be sprayed with wax spray (D 322 000 A2).
In order to prevent corrosion between the wheel centering seat and wheel hub.
-
Remove the wheel.
-
Thoroughly clean the centering seat on the wheel hub and the centering surface on the wheel.
-
Apply wax in area of the centering seat - arrow - using a brush.
Always make sure that only the centering seat - arrow - is waxed and not the wheel contact surfaces. As a consequence, the brakes would become
contaminated while driving and thereby result in poor braking.
CAUTION!
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 anticorrosion treatment to threads in wheel hubs.
-
Install the wheel and tighten. Refer to --> [ Wheel Bolt Tightening Specification ] .
