NOTE:
Use only genuine Honda wheel weights for aluminum wheels. Non-genuine wheel weights may corrode and damage
the aluminum wheels.
Remove the center cap by prying it out with a flat screwdriver. Use a rag at the point you are going to pry, because
aluminum alloy wheels can be easily damaged. Avoid damage to the cap by not allowing it to fall during removal.
Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the rear hub and inside of the brake disc.
