Garry Donohue Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 On my 2007 Dynasty, trying to inspect my steer hubs. In the pic, you will see an outer hub cap e my finger is pointing to an indent. There is another indent 180 degrees opposite. My question.. Do I pry in that indent to get the small hub cap off to inspect the bearings? I didn’t want to start prying on it without knowing. Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 This looks like a previous owner added another chrome cap over the aluminum wheel. It might be as simple as first pulling off the lug nut covers and the whole assembly will come off. Hopefully someone will recognize the design and chime in.

tmw188 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Not familiar with what you’re showing but try using a paint can opener, get behind it and pull instead of prying it off. It would seem that the indent is there for a purpose? Edited July 3 by tmw188 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 First time I ever saw recessed lug nut covers on our Monaco coaches. Strange indeed. I agree with Todd, the indent is there for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Garry Donohue Posted July 3 Author Solution Share Posted July 3 The previous owner owned a trucking company. Perhaps he lost the originals and replaced with these. Thanks everyone for checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right about the aftermarket caps! The lug nut's on Accuride's, nor Alcoa's (as far as I know), are in recessed holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I'm thinking that the previous owner lost a couple of original center caps and found one that could be locked in using another chrome cover and that's what he did. As the trucker saying goes - "chrome doesn't get you home" but it sure looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
