mchan68 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Has anyone else experienced extreme difficulty installing hub caps on the newer style Super Duties with the exposed style lug nuts. I've already taken delivery of my '21 Lariat Black Appearance package truck, and ruined the right front hub cap trying to install it.🤬  I swear to God, the amount of force required, to strike the caps with a mallet is borderline excessive to the point of destroying them, in order to overcome the tension needed to get them to fasten to those style of wheel nuts. Who the fuck comes up with these stupid designs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yeah I have dealt with some of them doing PDIs. You know how Ford is paranoid about stuff falling apart these days. I am surprised there's no loc-tite and they are not one-time use!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I bang the chrome ones on with my rubber mallet, but if they are black, I put the package they come in betwixt the cap and my rubber mallet, no marks that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
