Most car owners entrust this process entirely to the employees of tire shops when changing their car’s tires seasonally. And this is a mistake. It is recommended to
If the car owner does not give a damn about his safety and the safety of the car, he must independently perform several mandatory actions during the tire fitting process. Because truly qualified and conscientious masters of this craft cannot be found with fire during the day.
First of all, even before installing the “re-shod” wheel in place, do not be too lazy and inspect the condition of the surface of the hub and that part of the disk next to it. There should be no dirt, rust particles and the like.
The fact is that when the rim is screwed onto the hub, all this mud doesn’t allow them to come together properly. And this is a possible backlash and the threat of self-loosening lug nuts along the way – with more than obvious consequences. And for the alloy rim itself, “pressing” abrasive particles into the surface is no gift either.
Therefore, after dirt is found on the hub and disc, it must be carefully removed. Either by yourself using a pre-filled metal brush or by forcing a tire mechanic to do it.
And when the wheel is already installed on the studs, but not yet screwed with nuts, you need to take some grease yourself and smear a little on the threads of each of them – where the nuts will be located next.
This is especially true in the event that “secrets” are installed on the wheels that protect them from theft. Why is this necessary? So that there are no problems with unscrewing later! The oil fills all micro-voids between the threaded surfaces of the stud and nut, preventing oxidation. The absence of rust in these places will protect them from “sticking”.
This is especially true for “secrets”. After all, when the “secret” breaks the edges when you try to unscrew it, you can not remove the wheel itself. It is not worth worrying that due to lubrication, the nuts will be unscrewed on their own along the way. A properly tightened nut without lubricant does not happen by itself.
Well, the third act that the responsible car owner must perform himself is to check with his own hands whether the nuts are tight. When the tire changer tells you it’s done, don’t be too lazy to get a wheel wrench and do your best to “hold out” every nut on all the wheels of the car. To be sure, none of them weren’t completely twisted, that not a single wheel would fall off on the way.
