Installing your hubcaps is the most important thing to know if you want to keep them on! Almost 100% of missing hub caps are due to improper installation and whether the fault lies with you or your mechanic, we can teach you the right way to install your wheel covers and center caps! After watching our video, you won't have to keep replacing your missing hub caps and spending unnecessary money.
With this particular task, there are some tools required, one you might already have and one that our company sells to make hubcap installation simple for everyone. Depending on the type of center caps you have on your vehicle, of which there are three, you will need a lug wrench to tighten the bolts of your hubcap or you can use our hubcap tool to get the job done correctly. As shown in the video, there are three types of hubcaps: bolt on, pop on and screw on. The simplest hubcap to install is the pop on and will only require our special hubcap tool or a soft rubber mallet to tap the center caps into place. With the other two options, a lug wrench is needed to tighten the lug nuts on your wheel cover so that there is no danger of them falling off while you're driving.
Although this is a very easy process that only takes a few minutes to learn to do properly, we still want to encourage everyone out there watching to be careful and follow all of our instructions completely to avoid any kind of injury. It is also important to remember that it is up to you to make sure that no one uses an impact wrench to install your hub caps, ever. The reason for this is that using that tool when installing hubcaps can strip the threading on the lug nuts and will cause you to lose it the very next time you hit a little bump in the road. As always, if anyone has any questions, our staff is here to help you, just call our toll free number provided at the bottom. Thank you again!

Thank you from a woman learning to do these things for herself. I thought there would be directions with the hub caps but this was far better than written directions. Easy with the pop on. Didn't have the tool used here but soft mallet worked just fine.

I bought two replacement hub caps from a competitor and one tab was broken....they were nice enough to replace it free of charge but with no mounting instructions. I found your video, watched it and all went perfect. If i need hub caps in the future i will definitely buy from your company....many thanks tom

This video was very helpful for me to understand the installation of a 2010 Ford Fusion wheel cover. If you live in the Evil Empire State, NY, you'll need this knowledge since the constantly potholed highways and roadways will eventually cause them to fall off.

Most hubcaps with broken clips, are usually opposite of the valve hole, that I found. In northern ontario, canada, improper installation would be second to why they would fall off. Terrible roads and potholes shake off even the bolt on caps! Nothing escapes!

That's what I thought! I was just double making sure. I am proud I made my mom proud and happy! Your welcome on your inquiry! I am just proud you made this video and I did have a nice connection with you before even making this comment. I have called for a 2006 Mercury Milan Hubcap and talked to Britney who was very nice and the same personality on the videos and guided me to a representative. Over the course of three times to call in between weeks you couldn't get it since it's a extinct car brand and hard to come by with only so many hubcaps of that kind out there. I did find a couple on eBay in the end. It was your small business atmosphere that saved me for getting information all on type, what to expect and how to put on hubcaps.

+Frank Scoffield You can easily use a soft rubber mallet to tap in pop on hubcaps, just make sure that you tap on the solid parts of the hubcap and not on the windows. If you need any assistance, please give us a call at (800) 826-5880!

Just wanted to know if a missing hub cap centerpiece can cause a service engine light to come on? I have a 2000 Ford Mustang
@HubcapsComChino
@HubcapsComChino 6 жыл бұрын
+Donny Mckinnon Thank you for your inquiry. A missing hubcap would not cause the service engine light to turn on because it is not a mechanical issue. If it is not a mechanical issue, it may just be the sensors on the vehicle.

what do you do if your hubcap is a little loose? I put one on and you can twist it back and forth but it's still pretty hard to pull off.
@HubcapsComChino
@HubcapsComChino 8 жыл бұрын
+Reach It depends on what type of clipping system your hubcaps uses, it can be one of three options: Pop on, bolt on or screw on. We can help you figure out which one you have, why they would be loose and what your options are, just give us a call at 800-826-5880! Thanks again!

can I replace stock lug nut hub caps with the ring retention hub caps?
@HubcapsComChino
@HubcapsComChino 8 жыл бұрын
+Ashley Sheridan Hello! Sadly, this question isn't one that can be answered in full without seeing a picture of the hubcaps that you have on your vehicle. To explain: Some hubcaps with faux lug nuts that don't actually bolt on to the wheel can be replaced with retention ring hubcaps (most of them are actually that type themselves). However, in most cases, a bolt on (or lug nut hubcap) cannot be replaced by a pop on (or retention ring hubcap). There are exceptions of course but most of the time they can not be used interchangeably. To be certain, take a quick picture of your hubcaps, front and back, and call us Toll Free 800-826-5880 to speak with a sales representative. You'll get an email or a number to forward the picture to and from there we can give you your options. Hope this helps! Thanks again!

Anything sturdy would be fine but if you were to use a hammer I would make sure I'd wrap the hammer in cloth or old clothes very well to protect the plastic from breaking or scratching heck a shoe may even work lol

@HubcapsComChino
@HubcapsComChino 8 жыл бұрын
Most of the time, apart from gluing the center cap in, there is no foolproof way to prevent someone from stealing them. We do not recommend gluing them in because whenever you go to do regular maintenance such as rotating your tires etc, you will have to break them and then replace them. Sorry! Wish we had a better suggestion! -The Hubcaps.com Team
