Rust or dirt on
a
wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after
a
time. The wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When
you
change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use
a
cloth or
a
paper towel to do this; but be

get all the rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing

Flat Tire” in the Index.)
