the wheels of this vehicle are mounted by the wheel
bolts.

left with the wheel.

of heat to wheel can shorten life of wheel and damage

Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corro-

wheels without good metal-to-metal contact at mounting
surfaces can cause wheel bolts to loosen, which can
later allow a wheel to come off while vehicle is moving.
