- Before the wheel is placed on the wheel hub, re-grease the centering surface of the wheel hub (if required) as necessary with a very thin coat of Optimoly TA (aluminium paste) .
- The wheel bolt consists of two parts that are permanently joined together. Other wheel bolts must not be used .
NOTE:
Removing/fitting wheels
- Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
→ Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
→ Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.
Information
- The assembly pins for removing/mounting the wheel for vehicles with PCCB can be ordered separately as a spare part. Part No.: 999 571 074 30
.
- In the case of vehicles with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake), screw the two assembly aids (assembly pins), instead of two wheel bolts, into the wheel hub before removing the wheel. Only then remove the three remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel carefully, without touching the brake discs.
