Installing Center Caps on a Honda
To install center caps on a Honda, you can follow these general steps:
1. Pop-on Center Caps:
– Use an installation tool (not your hand) to tap at the solid sections in between the openings of the wheel cover. Do not hit in the center of the hubcap.
– By hand, nestle and wiggle the hubcap into position, being careful to place the valve stem in the right spot.
– After positioning the hubcap, lean both knees gently against both sides of the hubcap to keep it from bouncing back as you pop it on.
– Gently tap around the entire wheel cap to make sure it is evenly installed into position.
– Avoid casually placing the wheel cover in place and banging it on the wheel, as this can break or bend the clips.
2. Bolt-on Center Caps:
– Bolt-on center caps are held on by the real lug nuts.
– These center caps use a plastic lug nut to hold the cap on by screwing to the real, unexposed lugs on your wheel.
– It is important to avoid using an air-driven impact wrench, as this can strip the threads on the plastic lugs and cause the hub cap to fall off.
Please note that the specific installation process may vary depending on the model and year of your Honda vehicle. It is always recommended to refer to the vehicle’s manual or consult a professional if you are unsure about the installation process.
