Wheel Cover: Description and Operation
WHEEL COVERDESCRIPTION
This vehicle uses a bolt-on type wheel cover on models with steel wheels.
The wheel cover is attached to the wheel using the 5 plastic nuts located in the wheel cover. The nuts in the wheel cover thread onto a special externally threaded wheel nut to retain the wheel cover to the wheel.
Each wheel cover retaining nut is retained in the wheel cover and will stay on the wheel cover once it is unthreaded 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 bolt-on wheel cover cannot be removed from the wheel until all 5 wheel cover retaining nuts are unthreaded from the wheel mounting nuts. At that time the wheel cover can easily be removed from the wheel by hand.
