Wheel Centering Seat, Protecting against Corrosion

Valid for light metal alloy and steel wheels

When replacing wheel, wheel centering seat should be waxed with

Wax spray (D 322 000 A2 )

in order to prevent corrosion between wheel centering seat and rim.

- Remove wheel.

- Always clean wheel centering seat at wheel hub and centering of rim.

- Apply wax in area of the centering - arrow - using a brush.





Always make sure that only the centering - arrow - is waxed and not the rim contact surfaces. Consequences of this would be a soiling of the brakes during vehicle operation and poor braking performance would result.

CAUTION!
Wheel bolts, contact surfaces of wheel/wheel hub and threads in wheel hub must not be waxed. Threads of wheel bolts must never be handled with grease or corrosion protection agents!
