TIRE AND WHEEL INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

  1. INSTALL WHEEL ASSEMBLY

    Note:

    • Only use axle hub bolts that are compatible with the wheel. If incompatible axle hub bolts are used, the contact surface of the wheel and axle hub bolt may become deformed or damaged. This may result in looseness or loss of one or more axle hub bolts, even if they are tightened to the correct torque.

    • Check that there is no foreign matter or rust on the axle hub bolts and the contact surfaces of the wheel, brake disc, axle hub, etc. Clean the contact surfaces and axle hub bolts if necessary. If a wheel assembly is installed with foreign matter or rust between the contact surfaces, the foreign matter or rust may work loose. This may result in looseness or loss of one or more axle hub bolts, even if they are tightened to the correct torque.

    • When installing the axle hub bolts, clean the axle hub bolts with non-residue solvent and check that the axle hub bolts rotate smoothly by hand. If the axle hub bolts do not rotate smoothly, check that there is no foreign matter or rust and clean if necessary. If the axle hub bolts still do not rotate smoothly, replace the axle hub sub-assemblies and axle hub bolts with new ones.

    1. While aligning the wheel assembly with the center of the axle hub, install the axle hub bolts by hand.
