Hello everyone, this is a column focusing on car repair and maintenance. There are car mysteries you don’t know, and it will teach you how to avoid the big pits on the road of car ownership. I believe that not only you but also many people have a certain sense of obscurity about the car aftermarket, which will help you uncover the unknown stories of car repair and maintenance.
The little sister in front of her was once known as the Big Sister of the East Fifth Ring Road, but the recent experience also made the little sister doubt her ability, and even had the idea of giving up.

Just a few days ago, when my little sister was driving out, the tire suddenly ran out. Changing the tire was a piece of cake for the little sister, but the wheel of the car could not be removed anyway, so much so that she had to call for help.

In this issue, the editor will take you to interpret: car wheels, this position you really need to maintain!

The fine weather at the weekend was suitable for travel, but the forest man was directly anchored on the road and the right rear wheel stopped.
Although the little sister does clerical work, she likes cars very much and usually reads a lot of car books. I have already been good at changing tires, and I have changed tires at least a dozen times.
Oh, I almost forgot to say that my little sister usually has a hobby of learning taekwondo and is a black belt Rank. But it was very embarrassing that the shoes were almost ruined and the tires were not kicked down.
The master of the East Fifth Ring Road car Big Sister and Taekwondo Black Belt Rank has really become a little sister at the moment. After sweating, she decided to call the rescue to unload the wheel!
Sadly, although the little sister has been replaced by an old man, the wheel seems to have been reassured and there has been no change.
The wheel didn’t come down until the little sister and the old man kicked it for half an hour. The cause of all this is the rust of hub bearings. In other words, the wheel rusted to death on the hub bearing.
The little sister is really unforgettable about what happened today, thinking that this kind of thing can never happen again in the future, so she drove to the repair shop to find a way to solve this rusty problem once and for all.
The little sister’s problem is not a problem for maintenance technicians, and maintenance technicians have seen too much of this situation. In fact, there is a set of professional process to deal with the problem of rust.
The essential reason why the wheels can not be removed is because of rust, as long as the problem of rust is solved.
After cleaning the rust stains on the hub bearings, apply the right amount of grease to avoid rust.

Is it necessary for every car to maintain hub bearings?
The editor concluded that this maintenance is still very necessary, the little sister’s personal experience has explained everything. For petite women, it is almost impossible to take off the wheel and change the spare tire. If this is not in front of the location of the shop in the back of the village, it is very difficult to call for help.

How often do the hub bearings need to be maintained?
The editor suggests that the hub bearings should be maintained once a year, and it is very easy to cause hub bearings to rust when dripping through the stagnant water road during the rainy season. Can you guarantee yourself that a little water will not flow? obviously, this is impossible.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the use of their own car, hub bearing maintenance, is really necessary!
