Alcoa Hub covers are a great way to keep your wheels cleaner by shielding them from dirt, road debris and the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can protect the lug nuts and wheel surface from rust and corrosion and dust build-up, which means the essential parts of the wheel, like wheel studs and wheel hub, stay clean which makes it easier to remove the wheel for maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcoa Hub covers are built to last, made from durable ABS plastic, and finished with a highly reflective chrome look to enhance the aesthetic appeal of truck and trailer wheels by adding a shiny look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a guide to available Alcoa Wheels hub covers in Australia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One Piece Rear Axle Hub Cover Kit \u2013 Part Number A087200DT2<\/sup><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    For 10-285mm, 10-hole hub piloted wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The kit also contains a removal tool (Part Number 000800).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use a short handle rubber mallet to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll see that the one-piece rear axle hub covers have attachment towers with reinforced rings that clamp directly to the lug nut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The nut towers are tall, which means the hub covers fit on a wider range of applications, disc brakes, and other new truck trend variations, for example wide-based wheels where the stud stand out is more pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The retention nut system ensures proper fitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Retention nuts clamp on to the hub cover. Sit on top of the stud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inside the one-piece hub cover system are retention cylinders that help hold the retention nuts firmly in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    TO INSTALL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Find a triangular pattern on the stud thread and apply hand tight the retention nuts on the 3 positions.<\/span><\/li><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    2. Take your hub cover and align the internal retention cylinders to the retention nuts.<\/span><\/li><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    3. Using a rubber hammer, snap the cover into place.<\/span><\/li><\/div>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      To remove, take the removal tool and find a notch between the hub cover system and the wheel face. Hook the removal tool over the edge of the hub cover system and pull gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
