Rear wheel hubs

[gingerdyde]

Man this car has one of the easiest wheel hubs I have ever seen! At least on the rears lol.

Unfortunately it seems like my hub dust caps wont fit in the new hubs even with force. They are pretty beat up. Should I try new ones? The fronts don't have any from the factory, can I roll without them in the rear?

you will need caps, it's keeps the grit out of the bearings.

I figured as much. Well I grabbed new ones and they still don't fit. The cap is just slightly too big to fit into the hub.

Looks like the OEM caps have a rubber edge around them. I trimmed it back and was finally able to smack them in with the mallet. So if your caps don't fit your cheap hubs, trim them down!
