d.p Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I got some new shiny ones to replace my beat up rusty ones. But how they come off? Can I just pry them off? 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hey dp..... getting them off isn't to bad.... screwdriver or something to pry them off.... I've read somewhere to use wire not sure how that works... Getting the new ones on now that's fun.... I ruined my first set . I just got 2 more.... size seems to match the old ones bit they are a tight fit.. I was gonna find a piece of pipe or something to sit on the outer edge to get it to go in... I used my rubber mallet on the dome last time and dented it all to shit..... curious to see how you make out.... where did you buy yours? 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ebay way of Taiwan. My stockers are all beat to shit and it looks like someone hammered them on as well. I guess they make a driver but like you said an appropriate size pipe or 3/4" socket should work as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 This for the wheel bearing? 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think i got the same ones.. they atleast measured correctly... And mike I believe that's what he's talking about ... but a 3/4 socket? 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 3/4" drive not socket lol. No idea what size socket it would be but it would be BIG. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Title adjusted. All mine have a small rubber 'O ring' on them and I just lightly hammer them on. You should never run them without hub caps or discs so really doesn't matter if dented. 2 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 You say that but I don't want mine dented, I want them nice and round like my girlfriends tits and ass. 1 Quote Link to comment
Doctor510 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Leave your guns at home son, you are not dealing with amateurs here. Use a pair of channel lock pliers to remove and a proper blade punch to install them. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 You say that but I don't want mine dented, I want them nice and round like my girlfriends tits and ass. When your girl friends tits and ass get as old as your 521, they won't be nice and round anymore either!!! LOL 3 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I suggest you clear them before install. If like mine they are cheaply plated and will eventually rust. 3 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 lol Charlie. I'll trade her in and uprgade to a newer younger model. Thanks for the tip on clearing them. 3 Quote Link to comment

sebpv Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 what diam is the flat edge of the cap? like 1.5in? Try to find a piece of plastic pipe that fits 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I measures mine and a 2 1/8 id pipe is what should slip over the dome.... 3 Quote Link to comment
