If you have lost or damaged a hubcap, you may be wondering if you can replace it yourself. The answer is yes, but it is not as easy as simply popping a new one on. Here are the steps you will need to take to successfully replace a hubcap:
1. Remove the old hubcap. This will require loosening the lug nuts and then prying the hubcap off with a flathead screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the wheel in the process.
2. Clean the surface of the wheel where the new hubcap will be attached. This step is important to ensure that the new hubcap will adhere properly.
3. Attach the new hubcap. You will likely need to use some sort of adhesive or double-sided tape to do this. Again, be careful not to damage the wheel while attaching the new hubcap.
4. Tighten all of the lug nuts and test drive your vehicle to make sure everything is secure before heading out on the road again
