All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If the screws are corroded and
difficult to move, then these must be replaced.

WARNING
A tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads
and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on
the rim. Too low tightening torque, the wheels may fall off while driving -
risk of an accident. Therefore, drive cautiously and only at a moderate
speed until the tightening torque has been checked.
