WARNING: When installing a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of thewheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotorto the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metalcontact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resultingin loss of control.
