steps to install a wheel and tire assembly
after service:
* R - Removal of corrosion, dirt, and
other debris from hub and rim mating
surfaces
*
*
I - Inspection of all the components
of the tire, wheel, and hub
assemblies.
S - Snug lug nuts or wheel bolts in
a star pattern or the manufacturer
specified pattern
* T - Torque wheel fasteners to
specification
These simple steps help to avoid issues
like loosening of wheels over time, overtightening,
which can lead to warping
or distortion of some wheel assemblies,
and stripping of lug bolts or nuts. A clean
hub also ensures better fitment on a tire
balancer, which leads to a proper balance.
I've found the quickest means of cleaning
the hub and rim assembly, without risking
damage, is to use my Milwaukee die
grinder (Figure 2, above) with 3M Roloc
bristle discs (yellow for aluminum, and
green for steel wheels). Following this
up with proper torquing of the wheel fasteners;
I use the TechAngle series (from
Snap-On) for torquing, as I appreciate
having the readout in the top-right corner
(Figure 3). This feature keeps track of
how many times the correct torque has
been achieved. It's a small feature, but
one that helps confirm that each wheel
fastener has been torqued.
TPMS SERVICE
RECOMMENDATIONS
TPMS (tire pressure monitoring systems)
became mandatory in the U.S.
in September of 2007, whether it be a
direct or indirect system. Direct systems,
consisting of powered sensors
mounted within the wheel, make up
many of the vehicles our shop sees on
daily basis. In-direct systems utilize a
variety of sensor inputs to determine if
a tire is underinflated; though they lack
a physical sensor and the maintenance
that comes along with them, they have
their own set of service challenges and
considerations.
