Ahhh, crud. Center cap went missing.
One of my Fuchs center caps has walked off at some point in the last 5 miles. No problem, thinks me - I'll just buy a new one.
Wow. That's kinda spendy, lol. Anyone got any late Fuchs center caps they'd like to get rid of? LOL. |

A little clear rubber/silicon sealant under the lip helps.....

Experience and esoteric knowledge is what the board is about......ask me about my kids......or tell about them, I have no clue......
On the sealer.....make sure there is enough you can wipe off the excess. A good shot on the back with a wooden dowel or hammer handle will break them loose. Just have a hand on them or they will launch across the room. Let the sealer sit overnight at a minimum. OR...u can take them all off and do the Kommando thing....

I'll be running cap less with open lug nuts in the near future. You could do the same.

Look for threads on cracked alloy nut removals......not pretty. I've been running steel open heads for years.
