Material required:
• Molykote g-n paste (MTS part number 011-010-217).
• Nikal based anti-galling compound (MTS part number 011-354-902)
Procedure
1. Remove the current wheel from the test vehicle.
2. Clean all surfaces of the vehicle tire(s) and the modified rim(s). It is critical
that all surfaces be free of stones, burrs, and grease. Use a mild detergent
such as dish soap.
Important It is imperative that the mounting surfaces of the transducer be
protected from getting scratched. Any wheel components and work
surfaces that might come in contact with the transducer must be
clean, smooth, and free of debris.
Mount the tire(s) on the modified rim(s).
3. Wipe the unpainted mating surfaces of the modified rim, the spindle adapter
spacer and the transducer with a clean dry cloth.
4. Generally it is easier to attach the SWIFT sensor to the hub adapter first.
Attach the hub adapter to the SWIFT sensor using the 32 M12 x 1.75 mm
fasteners provided. Be sure to use the supplied 4-hole washer plates.
Ensure the pilot surface of the hub adapter spacer is facing the transducer.
Lubricate the threads and under the head of each fastener with Molykote g-n
paste and torque to 32.5 N·m (24 lbf-ft). They will be tightened to final
torque later.

* The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the rim
flange. The fastener length should ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 30 mm (1.18 in).

† The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the rim
flange. The fastener length should ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 18 mm (0.71 in).
M12 X 1.75 mm ‡
‡ These fasteners secure the spindle adapter spacer to the transducer.
The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the
spindle adapter spacer which is a function of the customer wheel
geometry. The fastener length should ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 18 mm (0.71 in).
