Title: Rear hub grease cap.
Post by: stainesy on 03 September 2012, 09:53

Does anybody no if you can get bearing grease caps for the rear drum brakes that don't poke out as much?
Flat ones or something. As I want to fit my centre caps in the new wheels but the grease caps poke out to far and push them out.

You can get caps from other makes of car with different profiles...
Or you can get creative with a hammer and dent it in enough to clear the centre cap, its only there as a cover to stop sh!t gettin in and to catch grease when it expands. Just dont let it touch the nut or the spline assembly when rotating.
