When a wheel is installed, always remove
any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or
the surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor
that contacts the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle
is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
