When replacing wheel, wheel centering seat should be waxed with

spray wax D 322 000 A2

In order to prevent corrosion between wheel centering seat and wheel.
^ Remove wheel.
^ Always clean wheel centering seat at wheel hub and center of rim.





^ Apply the wax to the area of the centering seat with a brush - arrow -.
