Freylube
Before mounting, lubricate the spigots or the wheel hub bore with Freylube. This minimize corrosion between the wheel and hub. Do not lubricate the face of the wheel or hub. Freylube or equivalent lubricants are heat resistant and are safe for aluminium and tyres. They can also be used for mounting tyres and valves. Other lubricants that are water-based or contain heavy metals can cause corrosion and should not be used. Freylube can be ordered from your Alcoa distributor.

Centre-mounting system
Alcoa wheels are designed for hub-centred systems. The wheel is held in place on studs by cap nuts with an integral flat washer. Do not alter the mounting holes or use conical or spherical cap nuts. Such modifications will invalidate the warranty.

Spigot length
For single and dual wheel mounting, the spigots should be in contact with the wheels for at least 3 mm. Longer spigots make mounting easier.

Torque
Always use the correct torque: Cap nuts: recommended by truck/ axle manufacturer. If not mentioned, use 550-660 Nm. Valves: 9.0-14.6 Nm. Check the torque of valves and cap nuts frequently.
