Ju88A-1 Data Plate

Could someone kindly translate the following and suggest where the plate may have come from :

Achtung !
Vor Einbau des Rades
unbedingt Rostschutz
farbe der Bremstrommel
mit Spiritus abwaschen
Blockiergefahr !

As the plate is incomplete I have had to make a guess at some of the lettering.

Many thanks

Warning
before installation of the wheel
make sure to wash the rust paint of the brake drum
with white spirits.
Danger of blocking

Re: Ju88A-1 Data Plate

Many thanks.

I have also seen photographs of very similar wording which appears on the wheel hubs of U4 + TK the Ju88 being restored in Norway and as detailed on the excellant site www.ju88.net . The warnings that appear on Wk Nr. 0880119 are painted directly on the wheel hub whereas the wording I quoted is on a small aluminium plate so I imagine they are both associated with the main wheel installation. The word "Bremse" appears in place of "Rades" on U4 + TK and is the only wording difference.

Could someone please provide a translation for the word Bremse ?
