Installation
1. WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material
present on the mounting surface of the wheel and the mounting surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Failure to follow these instructions when installing wheels may result in the wheel nuts loosening and the wheel coming off while the vehicle is in motion, which could result in loss of control, leading to serious injury or death to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Make sure to apply a thin coat of anti-seize lubricant only to the interface between the wheel pilot bore and the hub pilot. Do not allow the anti-seize to make contact with the wheel- to-brake disc/drum mounting surface, wheel studs, wheel nuts, brake pads or brake disc friction surfaces or damage to components may occur.
Clean the mounting surface of the wheel. Apply the substance from the specified tube. Material : High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant / XL-2
