kclark Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I was trying to remove a wheel today, and I'm having trouble taking off the center "hub" with the "S" on it. All of them are either really tight or stuck really good. I want to confirm that all 4 are righty tighty, lefty loose. I'd hate to be expecting it to loosen when all I'm doing is tightening.

ols car dog Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 They are right hand threads, The caps are pretty thin,be careful Try to spray a little WD -40 on the back of cap where it meets the wheel. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keninman Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I used a terry cloth rag to cushion my big channel locks to remove the hub caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kclark Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 UPDATE I know have 3 out of 4 broke loose. That last one is a real booger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Maybe try a little heat gun heating. Might expand it just enough to break it loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keninman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have found that rubber gloves give you a much better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
