Hub Caps/Wheel Covers If Equipped
The hub caps must be removed before raising the vehicle
off the ground.
CAUTION!
Use extreme caution when removing the front and rear
center caps. Damage can occur to the center cap and/or
the wheel if screwdriver type tools are used. A pulling
motion, not a pry off motion, is recommended to remove
the caps.
For single rear wheel (SRW) models, use the flat blade on
the end of the lug wrench to pull the hub cap off. Insert
the blade end into the pull off notch and carefully pull the
hub cap off with a back and forth motion.
On 3500 models with dual rear wheels (DRW), you must
first remove the hub caps. The jack handle driver has a hook
at one end that will fit in the pull off notch of the rear hub
caps. Position the hook and pull straight out on the ratchet
firmly. The hub cap should pop off. The wheel skins can now
be removed. For the front hub cap, use the flat blade on the
end of the lug wrench to pull the caps off. The wheel skin
can now be removed.
CAUTION!
Use a pulling motion to remove the hub cap. Do not
use a twisting motion when removing the hub cap,
damage to the hub cap; finish may occur.
The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has two
pull off notches. Make sure that the hook of the
jack handle driver is located squarely in the cap
notch before attempting to pull off.
You must use the flat end of the lug wrench to pull off the
wheel skins. Locate the hub cap pull notches (2 notches on
each cap). Insert the flat tip completely and using a back and
forth motion, loosen the wheel skin. Repeat this procedure
around the tire until the skin pops off.
