Re-installing wheel
Corrosion where the aluminum wheel meets the iron brake drum will build up and cause the wheel to sit wrong or not seat tightly in place.
Marking position helps avoid loosening when the wheel is re-installed. If it’s necessary to change positions entirely, cleaning off all the corrosion lets the wheel seat properly. Both the wheel and mating surface needs to be clean of any loose ‘stuff’ or built-up rust or corrosion to seat properly.
Don’t forget to use a calibrated torque wrench to install the lug nuts, and recheck the torque at the intervals suggested by the place you bought the tires at, and at intervals listed in the manual.
