A
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after
a
time. The wheel could come
off
and cause an accident. When you change
a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use
a
cloth or a paper towel
to
do
this; but be sure to use
a
scraper or wire
brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.
~
Place the spare on the
wheel mounting, surface
and replace the wheel
nuts with the rounded
end
of
the nuts toward
the wheel.
.I
Make sure each wheel stud
is
centered
in
each wheel
hole while tightening the nuts. Tighten each nut by hand
until the wheel
is
held against the hub.
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
If
you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel could
fall off, causing
a
serious accident.
