00:00A great way to improve the performance and appearance of your Defender is by installing Land Rover wheel spacers.
00:10However, it is important to choose the right type of spacers and ensure that they are installed correctly to avoid any negative effect.
00:19Let's take a look at the correct installation steps.
00:22Use a cross wrench to remove the lug nuts on the side of the wheel in a diagonal sequence,
00:28but do not remove them completely.
00:30Using jacks to support each end of the car is a better safety measure.
00:35Use a cross wrench to remove the wheel's side lug nuts.
00:39Remove the wheel of the hub and set it to the side.
00:43You can use a brake cleaner to remove them.
00:45Remove any rust and dirt from the wheel hub with a rug.
00:49Widen the entire surface to ensure it is smooth,
00:52because all of that surface may cause the wheel spacer to not fit perfectly with the hub.
00:57Install the Bonus Forge FT Cooling Land Rover wheel spacers, then install the matching lug nut.
01:04Tighten them with a torque wrench.
01:07A key advantage of Bonus Land Rover Defender wheel spacers is the FT Cooling feature.
01:13These wheel spacers are designed with petal-shaped grooves.
01:16The grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when it rotates.
01:22The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system.
01:28Install the rim and then install the stock nuts.
01:34Use a torque wrench to tighten them on the wheel.
01:37Make sure they are secure.
01:39Slowly lower the car until the tires fully touch the ground, and remove the jack.
01:44Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the specific torque.
01:48Always tighten them in a diagonal sequence.
01:51This will ensure that the lug nuts work.
01:53The same operation is done for the remaining wheels.
01:57After installing the wheel spacers, drive slowly back and forth, ensuring the rims are turned a few times.
02:04Bonus recommends checking the use of the wheel spacers every 6 months,
02:09and checking the vehicle operation to ensure safe driving.
