- Remove wheel - read basic safety information
- Check spacer fits flush with the wheel hub and lines up with the bolt holes/ studs. No extreme force should be used to position the spacer onto the hub.
- Test fit the spacer against the inside surface of the wheel to ensure it lines up correctly and fits flush to the wheel and lines up with the bolt/stud holes.
- Check that the wheel bolts/studs that will be holding the wheel and spacer assembly in position are long enough.
- Re fit the wheels
- We strongly recommend that before the vehicle is moved or driven, each wheel that has been worked on should be turned through 2 or 3 complete revolutions.
- We also strongly recommend that the wheels are turned to full lock both left and right to ensure they do not foul any part of the vehicle. It is important to do this before the vehicle is driven.
Basic Safety Information
When removing vehicle wheels, consult the manufacturer's handbook or a qualified mechanic on how to do this safely.
Make sure the vehicle is parked in a safe place on firm level ground. Use suitable jack/axle satands, so the vehicle is safe.
Use suitable wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle moving. Apply the handbrake at all times. Wear protective gloves and eye protection.
All wheel fixings are considered to be "safety critical" items as they perform a very important task, keeping your vehicle's wheels safely and securely attached, while allowing easy removal in the event of a puncture or service requirements.
With this in mind it is of the utmost importance that any parts used to fit wheels to any vehicle are the correct specification.
Tighten all wheel nuts to car manufactuers recommended torque setting. Do Not over tighten. DO not use an air gun. Periodically check tightness of all nuts or bolts
