Fitting
1. Fit the hub cap on the wheel rim from
the inside according to the above pic-
ture and clean the contact surfaces be-
tween wheel and hub.
2. Lift on the wheel.
Tighten the nuts until the wheel makes
good contact with the flange.
3. Lower the vehicle and tighten the nuts
alternately.
4. Fit the wheel cap.
Do not rotate a raised rear wheel if the car
i s fitted with a limited slip differential as
this will also move the other rear wheel
on the ground, so that the car may top-
ple off the jack.
BODY
39 Washing
The car should be washed often since such
things as dirt, dust, dead insects, tar spots,
etc. usually adhere firmly to the body and
may damage the paintwork. Washing also
helps to counteract rusting.
When washing the car, make sure that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight since this
can cause drying patches. Begin by soften-
i ng up the dirt on the underside of the
body with a jet of water and use if neces-
sary a soft brush. Then rinse down the
whole body with a light jet until the dirt
has loosened up. After this, wash off the
dirt with a sponge using plenty of water.
Use preferably lukewarm but not hot water.
A detergent can be used to facilitate
washing. Special detergents are now avail-
able on the market - even dish-washing
fluids can be used. A suitable mixture is
about 5-10 cl (1.5 -3.5 fl. ozs.) of fluid
dishwasher to 10 dm
3
/litres (2.6 US galls =
2.2 Imp. galls) of water. Asphalt spots and tar
pittings can easily be removed with white
spirit or equivalent, but this should be done
after the washing.
When a detergent is used, the car should
be well rinsed down with clean water after-
wards. Begin with the roof of the car and
work down the body. Then dry carefully
with a soft cleaning leather. Use different
l eathers for the windows and the remainder
of the car, otherwise using the same leather
can leave greasy smears on the windows.
When washing the car, remember to clean
SERVICING
the draining holes in the doors and bot-
tom sills.
Note. When washing the car in a washing
bay, the vent control should be closed.
I n certain cases, the air intakes for the
car heater should be covered.
Chromed parts
Chromium-plated and anodized parts should
be washed with clean water as soon as
they become dirty. This is particularly im-
portant if you drive on gravel roads which
are treated with chemicals to keep the dust
down or in the winter when salt is used
to melt the snow. After the car has been
washed, apply wax or anti-rust preparation.
