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. Attach the spindle adapter spacer to the rim side of the transducer (see the
next figure) using the four M5 fasteners provided (see the previous table).
Ensure the pilot surface of the spindle adapter spacer is facing the
transducer.
Lubricate the threads and under the head of each fastener with Molykote g-n
paste and torque to 6.5 N•m (4.8 lbf-ft).
Front Rim Dual Rims
M16 X 1.5 mm *
* The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the rim
flange. The fastener length must ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 37 mm (1.46 in) but must not exceed 43 mm (1.69 in).
M16 X 1.5 mm*
M10 X 1.5 mm †
† The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the rim
flange. The fastener length must ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 28 mm (1.10 in) but must not exceed 34 mm (1.33 in).
M10 X 1.5 mm †
M5 X 0.8 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.
M5 X 0.8 mm ‡
MTS modified lug nuts and shim washers §
§ The standard lug nuts provided have a thread size of M22 X 1.50 mm.
Other thread sizes can be ordered at customer request.
