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.
Place the spare on the wheel mounting surface.
8.
Reinstall the wheel
nuts with the
cone-shaped end
of
the nuts toward
the wheel. Tighten
each nut by hand until
the wheel
is
held
against the hub.
