Maintenance
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury,
and / or death, when installing the tire and rim
assembly on disc brake-equipped axles, make
sure the tire valve stem clears the brake caliper.
The use of either an IC Bus or International truck
valve stem retainer or a tire manufacturer's stem
forming tool is the only acceptable method of
obtaining clearance when necessary. Failure to
obtain proper clearance may result in rapid tire
deflation.
Wheel Nut Torque Maintenance
Tighten and maintain wheel and rim mounting nuts to the proper
torque. Loose nuts or overtightened nuts can lead to premature
wear and possible failure of the wheel, rim, and / or mounting
hardware.
Hub-Piloted Wheel Installation Procedures
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury,
and / or death, use only the same type and
style wheels and mounting hardware to replace
original parts. Failure to do so may result in an
assembly that looks fine but does not fit together
properly.
This could cause wheel or fastener
failures.
Out-of-round tires and wheel assemblies can sometimes be
corrected by reclocking the tire relative to the wheel.
Tightening procedure for disc wheels with flange nuts
(hub-piloted):
1. Clean the mating surfaces of the hub, drum, and wheel(s)
as well as the wheel studs and wheel nuts with a wire brush
prior to assembly.
2. Lubricate the two-piece wheel nuts by putting two drops of oil
in the slot between the nut and washer and spin the washer
to spread the oil around the nut-to-washer contact surface.
3. Carefully lubricate the wheel stud threads by wiping them
with a freshly oiled cloth. Do not get the oil on any other
surfaces or the wheel clamping effectiveness will be
reduced!
4. To prevent aluminum wheels from getting stuck on the hub
due to corrosion, apply a thin coat of antiseize compound
or disc brake corrosion control grease to the hub pilot pads
only.
5. Slide the inner wheel (if duals) or steer wheel over the wheel
studs and onto the pilot pads of the hub. Care must be taken
to avoid damage to the stud threads while positioning the
wheel. Ensure that the wheel is resting on the pilot pads
and is against the brake drum.
6. Hand-start all wheel nuts to avoid cross-threading.
7. Starting with the nut at the 12 o’clock position and using
the appropriate star or crisscross pattern (see wheel nuts
torque sequence diagram), run the wheel nuts down the
wheel studs with an impact wrench until they are snug
