ing grease or engine oil to the external threads
of inner wheel nuts and the spherical surfaces

2nd process

WARNING
Wheel nuts that are tightened loosely or too
tightly could lead to broken or elongated
wheel bolts, cracked disc wheels, and/or
worn or cracked wheel hubs, causing wheels
to come off the axles. Since this could cause
a serious accident and render the vehicle
undriveable, be sure to check the wheel nuts
regularly.
