You've got it made and are the master of your Jeep when you can Remove/Install Jeep Hub Caps without distorting them. :wink:

Installing with a piece of right diameter muffler/water pipe over the hub cap outer diameter on to the hubcap lip & a straight on whack on said pipe with a club or gympie hammer works a dream.
Make sure the pipe is not tight on the hubcap outer diameter, otherwise the pipe may become jammed once the cap is whacked home.

Understand how system parts interact with one another. GOOD parts can then be established & the NOT GOOD problem/s part/s isolated for repair or replacement.

I just pry them off with a crowbar and beat them back on with a BFH :D
Who cares, it just adds character!
