Make
certain
during
wheel
removal   that   the   same   nuts
removed  are reinstalled  -  or,  if
replaced,  that nuts  with  metric
threads  and the  same  chamfer

are
used.
Installation    of    a   non-metric

vice-versa  will  not   secure  the
wheel  to the  hub  properly  and
will damage  the  stud so  that it
must be replaced.
