Default Re: '38 pu hubcap stainless repair

Stainless must be removed from the steel hubcap base before repairs can be made. To remove the stainless, drill a hole in the base under the stainless about 1/8" in dia. but do not drill into the stainless. Use air pressure to blow the stainless off. Do your repairs and grease the edges of the stainless. place the entire assemble on a open gallon paint can with several layers of rags between the can and the cap and sit on the hubcap. The stainless should pop on. If the stainless does not pop on, and you have painted the base, sand the painted edge of the hubcap to reduce the paint thickness and try again.
