'JTION:
-
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.

A
CAUTION:
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.
Replace the wheel nuts with the rounded end
of
the
nuts toward the wheel. Tighten each
nut
by hand
until the
wheel
is
held against the hub.
