Hub unit maintenance methods:
- A hot hub should be naturally cooled first before cleaning. Never use cold water to clean it, otherwise the aluminum alloy hub may be damaged, and in worse cases the brake disc may deform and impair the braking performance. It should also be noted that cleaning a high-temperature aluminum alloy hub with detergent may result in chemical reaction on the hub surface, causing it to tarnish and become less elegant.
- If the hub surface is covered by asphalt that can’t be removed by common detergents, a brush may be helpful. You can also try a rarely known prescription for removing asphalt – applying some medicated activating collateral oil on the surface and rubbing it. The result may be surprising.
- If the vehicle is used in a damp environment, the hubs should be cleaned frequently to prevent aluminum surface corrosion caused by salt.
- After cleaning, the hubs may be waxed if necessary for preserving the luster.
