Can Wheel with Retaining Ring Be Used without It

Question:
We have purchased a Vermeer Wood Chipper with flat faced wheels and it came from the factory with the 33-52-1 retaining ring. It is not a dual wheel assembly and my question is: Can we remove the retaining ring and switch to just lug nuts with that type of wheel?

Expert Reply:
The retaining ring is what allows the wheel to center on the lug nuts as they are torqued down since the wheels are flat. So if you removed the # 33-52-1 the wheel wouldn't center as you tighten it and the wheel definitely not go down the road well.
