Wheel Cover: Description and Operation

Certain models of this vehicle are equipped with a lock-on type wheel cover.





The wheel cover is attached to the wheel using the 5 nuts located in the wheel cover. The nuts in the wheel cover thread onto a special externally threaded wheel nut. This is the method used to retain the wheel cover to the wheel.

The wheel cover retaining nut is retained in the wheel cover and will stay on the wheel cover when un-threaded from the wheel nut. If required, the retaining nut can be removed from the wheel cover and replaced as a separate part of the wheel cover.

The lock-on wheel cover can not be removed from the wheel until all 5 wheel cover retaining nuts are un-threaded from the wheel nuts. Then the lock-on wheel cover can be removed by hand from the wheel.
