While depressing the spindle lock button, thread the threaded locking flange 7 on spindle. NOTE: If the wheel you are installing is more than 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick, place the threaded locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) fits into the center of the wheel. If the wheel you are installing is 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick or less, place the threaded locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) is not against the wheel.
