. While
rotating the wheel, check to ensure there is
adequate clearance between the wheel
and disc brake assembly.
WARNING
Improperly mounting and demounting
tire
and rim assemblies is dangerous.
Failure to observe proper precautions
could cause the tire rim assembly to

may cause the hood to close uncon-
trollably which may result in death or
personal injury.
WARNING
Always support the vehicle with appro-
priate
safety stands if it is necessary to
work underneath the vehicle. A jack is
not adequate for this purpose. Failure
to comply may result in death, person-

Disc Wheels
WARNING
Use the correct components and tools
when
working on wheels. Grooves in
the wheel disc or other damage to the
disc can weaken the wheel and cause
it to eventually come off. This could
cause you to lose control of your vehi-
cle, and may result in an accident.
Failure to comply may result in proper-
ty damage, personal injury, or death.
The end of the wheel wrench must be
smooth. Burrs on the end of the wrench
can tear grooves in the disc. These
grooves may lead to cracks in the disc, and
can cause it to fail.
