RE: RE: [diesel_mercedes] hub caps

 

You can lift the hubcap slightly anywhere to find the location of one post.

You don’t want to try to lift it tooo much or you can crease the lip of the hubcap

Lifting where a retaining post is puts the effort right where it is needed to remove the hubcap.  Bill in Oregon

How do I straddle the posts when I don't know where they are?

There are three button posts under there. I use a claw hammer and a thin block of wood.

The wood goes between the hammer and the painted wheel.

Like pulling a nail with just the tips of the claw end of the hammer under the underside of the hubcap but straddling the post underneath.

Sometimes the one you’re working on will only pull half way over the nubbin.

Go onto the next one and the hubcap will come off. Bill (1961 190Db)

How can I safely remove my hubcaps from my 1965 mercedes 190 without bending them or damaging them?

Thank you
Laura
