Lubricating Wheel lugs/bolts

May 11, 2006 1 Replies

NOTE: Corrosion build-up can result in wheels sticking to the front brake disc flange/rear hub flange after extensive service.



Use the following procedure to prevent the sticking condition from recurring once the wheels are removed. Clean the brake disc flange/hub flange and wheel bore of corrosion with a wire brush, steel wool or any other suitable material. Coat the wheel bore with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A. Do not apply grease to wheel hub bolt nut seats or the wheel stud. ==============================================================



Dry torque for my wheel nuts is 95 pound feet
