EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
STEP
1 Remove each wheel in turn. Remove the wheel and place the wheel with
the unseen inside part of the wheel facing up and the outside surface flat to
the ground. Caution: Observe standard safety procedures recommended by
vehicle manufacturer when jacking the vehicle and removing wheels.
STEP
2 Please Note - Each Dust Shield is rotationally different. Inspect to
insure that each Dust Shield has a red arrow label clearly indicating the
direction of rotation. Select a Dust Shield for the wheel you have placed on the
ground so that the red arrow will be rotating in the direction that the wheel
will roll when the vehicle is going forward.
STEP
3 After selecting the appropriate rotation Dust Shield, install the Dust
Shield into the wheel. Do not install the Dust Shield on the hub
of the vehicle. Insert the Dust Shield into the wheel so that the red arrow
label faces up and all bolt holes are properly aligned. Place the Dust Shield
into the wheel applying firm pressure evenly along the outside circumference of
the Dust Shield so that the Dust Shield will be pushed down evenly into the
wheel as far as possible. In some cases the shield will have a very tight fit in
which case the shield should be pushed down evenly into the wheel as
far as possible using a reasonable amount of pressure. The flat area
of the Dust Shield should fit flush against the flat hub surface of the wheel.
STEP
4 With the Dust Shield placed into the wheel, inspect the Dust Shield to
see that:
STEP
5 Before returning the wheel to the ground, slowly rotate the wheel by
hand and listen to insure that there are no scraping sounds.
If
you notice a scraping sound, remove the wheel and lay the wheel flat on the
ground. Leave the Dust Shield in place and carefully inspect the Dust Shield to
determine if there is a visible sign of scraping. If there is no sign of
scraping indicated on the Dust Shield, the scraping sound was caused by another
part of your vehicle.
If
the Dust Shield does have an indication of scraping on it, insure that you have
placed the Dust Shield all the way down into the wheel as far as the Dust Shield
can go by once again applying firm pressure and pushing the Dust Shield down
evenly into the wheel as far as possible. This should solve the scraping
problem and the wheel should be remounted and rotate the wheel again to check
for scraping.
