    Is there any "trick" or "special way" to get hub caps on? I only have them on in the summer and when I put them on it can take me up to an hour sometimes! I know this is a really pathetic thread to start but I'm young and still learning the basics:)


    thanx in advance

    Ive always done the hold the hubcap in place at the bottom of the wheel with my knee, then a smack at the top with a rubber mallot. Then a quick trip around the outside again with the mallot to make sure its on all the way. Dont forget to line up the valve stem, if applicable.
