Hub Piloted Mounting:
• Before using flange nuts that have already been used in service,
apply two drops of oil at the point between the flange and hex. This
will allow parts to rotate freely and provide proper clamping force
when tightened. Use any common lubricant typically used for fas-
teners. Examples are motor oil and general purpose lubrication oils.
Excessive lubricant will not improve the nut performance.
Excessive lubricant makes the nuts hard to handle, attracts dirt to
the nuts and may cause unsightly appearance to the wheel. Only
used nuts need to be lubricated.
• Since flange nuts generate higher clamping force, always use grade
eight studs with hub mount wheels.
• Before installing the wheels, lubricate the hub pilot pads with a
drop of oil to prevent galling. Do not lubricate any other wheel or
hub surface.
• For a hub with intermittent pilot pads, position a pad at the twelve
o’clock position to center the wheel to reduce run out.
NOTE: Loosen and tighten lug nuts in a star pattern
sequence. Sequence tighten to 50 ft lbs first, then sequence
tighten to 500 ft lbs. Over tightening can cause distortion.
