97 camry hubcap install??

[makaveli3004]

hey my hubcap recently fell off. i got a new one and i was just wondering how do you install it.

[yotatechie04]

What exactly are you making reference to? The wheel cover itself, or the cover over the axleshaft end that goes over the nut?

I think you can pop it right on..But im not sure. Cause to remove it...Dont you just use like a screwdriver or something and pry it off?

Put the valve stem through the hole in the wheel cover, insert that side of the cover as tight as possible against the wheel, and whack the opposite side with a rubber mallet or your hand. Then whack all the way around to make sure all the clips are seated.

Go figure someone was actually asking about something simple instead of something that was more complicated...

I think it's a damn shame when someone asks about installing a hubcap and it takes a 5-comment thread.

Actually I think its a damn shame someone doesn't know how to install a hubcap! Driving a car has to be more complicated.

Actually, I don't think the guy was serious.

Yeah, I do somewhat believe that it was a joke or something, although I really do think that it's pretty bad that it takes this much discussion to figure it out.

In any event, you have to play it straight...

True. Very true.
