6.
Remove any rust or dirt
from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces and
spare wheel.
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.
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.
7.
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.
