The wheel hub size consists of two parameters: the rim diameter and the rim width. The notation can be in forms such as 15*6.5; 15*6.5JJ; 15*6.5J, etc., with no strict requirements on the format. The "15" at the front represents the rim diameter, meaning the diameter of the wheel hub rim is 15 inches. The "6.5" (or 6.5J, 6.5JJ) at the back indicates the rim width, signifying that the wheel hub rim width is 6.5 inches. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. PCD: Refers to the Pitch Circle Diameter of the wheel hub bolt holes. Examples of notation include 5*114.3, 10*100/114.3, where "5" indicates the number of bolt holes, meaning there are 5 bolt holes. "114.3" indicates that the Pitch Circle Diameter of the bolt holes is 114.3mm. 2. Offset: The distance between the mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel hub, which can usually be found on the back of the wheel hub. The offset is used to adjust the wheel track and ensure that the wheel does not interfere with the vehicle body.

What to Do When the Clutch Responds Slowly?

The solutions for a slow-responding clutch are: 1. Remove the push rod of the slave cylinder and manually push and pull the release fork to check its flexibility; 2. Promptly visit an auto repair shop to clear the return oil hole of the clutch pump; 3. Lift the vehicle, remove the plug cover of the flywheel inspection port, and use an endoscope to check the wear condition of the clutch three-piece set. The maintenance methods for clutch usage are: 1. Clean thoroughly before installation to remove anti-rust grease and debris; 2. For wet electromagnetic clutches, lubricating oil needs to be added between the friction plates during operation; 3. During coaxial installation, axial fixation is required to prevent axial movement between the driving and driven parts; 4. For split-shaft installation, the coaxiality between the driving and driven parts should not exceed 0.1mm.

What is the difference between driving straight at an intersection and driving straight in general?

When driving straight in general, the steering wheel should not be moved, and the vehicle should maintain a straight path. When driving straight at an intersection, the steering wheel can be turned slightly, but the vehicle does not make a turn. In practical operation, there is not much difference between the two. Below are the specific behaviors during driving: 1. Driving straight requires the vehicle to maintain a straight path, and the steering wheel may need adjustments depending on the situation. Factors such as tire pressure and uneven road surfaces can cause slight deviations from the straight path, so minor corrections should be made as soon as the deviation starts. 2. Proper straight driving involves focusing attention on the distant road ahead and making minor adjustments to the vehicle's direction based on that, rather than focusing solely on constantly adjusting the vehicle, which is considered putting the cart before the horse.

What is an Airbag?

An airbag is a passive safety feature in motor vehicles, designed to work in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. Here are the specific details: 1. Function: In the event of a collision, the inflation system rapidly fills the airbag within less than a tenth of a second. The airbag expands and deploys from the steering wheel or dashboard, shielding the occupants from the impact forces of a frontal collision. 2. Concept: The airbag was first proposed by John Hetrick, who obtained a U.S. patent for an "Automobile Safety Cushion." With the establishment of vehicle safety standards in various countries, the installation rate of airbags has significantly increased. Airbags can also be classified based on their placement, including front airbags, passenger airbags, side airbags, rear side airbags, side curtain airbags, and knee airbags, offering comprehensive protection for drivers and passengers.

What is the Difference Between American and French Valve Stems?

American valve stems are larger and shorter, and you don't need to remove the cap when inflating. French valve stems are longer and smaller, and you must loosen the cap to inflate. Air guns can accommodate French valve stems, but for American valve stems, the pump must be detached before inflation. Below is an introduction to valve stems: 1. Function of valve stems: A small component used to inflate or deflate tires and maintain the seal after inflation. A standard valve stem consists of three main parts: the valve stem body, the valve core, and the valve cap. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to automotive tire valve stems. 2. Types of valve stems: Bicycle valve stems, motorcycle and electric vehicle valve stems, car valve stems, truck and bus valve stems, agricultural and engineering vehicle valve stems, and special valve stems.

Are Tires Afraid of Sun Exposure?

Yes. The main material of tires, rubber, is prone to changes in its state due to variations in external environmental conditions. This characteristic means that tires not only have a limited lifespan but also require special care during daily use. Here are some tire maintenance tips: 1. During sun exposure: Park the car in a place where it is not exposed to prolonged sunlight, as long-term exposure to UV rays can cause the rubber surface of the tires to age, increasing the risk of blowouts. Also, ensure that all four tires are parked on the same level ground; avoid parking on uneven surfaces. Otherwise, the tire at the lowest point will bear excessive pressure, leading to deformation of the internal steel wires and potential tire damage. 2. During high temperatures: Hot weather increases road temperatures, causing tire pressure to rise due to thermal expansion. Especially during high-speed driving or emergency braking, the gas inside the tires heats up rapidly and expands quickly, leading to excessive tire pressure and possible blowouts. Therefore, in hot weather, it is essential to regularly check tire pressure, particularly before long-distance or high-speed driving.

Where is the oil-gas separator installed?

The oil-gas separator is installed at the crankcase breather port or exhaust pipe of the engine. The oil-gas separator is a device that separates crude oil and natural gas produced from oil wells. It separates free gas from well fluid, with the liquid being sent to the submersible centrifugal pump and the gas released into the annular space between the tubing and casing. The replacement method for built-in oil-gas separators is as follows: 1. Stop the air compressor and close the air outlet; 2. Open the drain valve to confirm there is no system pressure; 3. Disconnect the pipeline above the oil-gas tank and remove the pipeline from the pressure maintaining valve outlet to the cooler; 4. Remove the oil return pipe, unscrew the fixing bolts on the oil-gas tank cover, and remove the cover; 5. Take out the old oil-gas separator and replace it with a new one; 6. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
