Default Knockoffs

I have several threads showing. First make absolutely sure the hubs are seated in the slots on the wheel. You can still put the wheel and spinner on if they are not but that is very bad. I know from experience. lol Procedure is to bang the spinners with the lead hammer until the sound changes and it feels different. I give them another shot or two after that. The purpose of the safety wire is to check to see if the spinner is loosening not prevent it from doing so and that is why the wire is put on loose. I have seen some owners say they are using very thick safety wire but that is difficult to work with. Use a little anti-seize to prevent galling.
