Wheel Fastening
Wheel nuts and bolts are wear parts. Wheel bolts should be replaced from time to time, as tightening can slightly deform the thread, increasing the risk of breakage.
Please note that excessive thread engagement depth can damage the axles. Therefore, after mounting, turn the wheels by hand in an unloaded state to ensure no bolt is touching another component.
