Wheel Centering Seat, Protecting Against Corrosion
Applies to light-alloy and steel wheels
When a wheel is changed, the wheel centering seat should be sprayed with Wax Spray to prevent corrosion between the wheel centering seat and the rim. Refer to Parts Information.
-- Remove the wheel.
-- Thoroughly clean the centering seat on the wheel hub and the centering surface on the rim.
CAUTION:
Brakes can become contaminated while driving and thereby result in poor braking.
- Only wax the rim centering.
Always make sure that only centering -arrow- is waxed and not rim contact surfaces. As a consequence, the brakes would become contaminated while driving and thereby result in poor braking.
-- Apply wax in area of centering -arrow- using a brush.
