Ford Questions
Just acquired a 2014 31' Newmar. How do I remove the hub caps on 19.5 tires? How does the "Tow Mode" function. Haven't got the books. Thanks in advance for assistance.

What ever you do, DO NOT pry on the stainless steel wheel covers. When you have loosened all the CORRECT hold down lugs, usually two, 180 degrees apart, the OEM factory wheel covers (usually made by Dicor) will come off without tools. The stainless steel lugs you see DO NOT HOLD THE WHEEL ON, only the wheel cover. They are just false decor. The real lug nuts (on a Ford, usually 8) that hold the wheel on are underneath the stainless steel caps. The wheel cover hold down nuts only need be snugged up when reinstalled. THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE TORQUED TO 150 FT-LBS. Make sure you index the wheel covers properly to the valve stem (see notched cutout on wheel cover) when reinstalling them or you won't be able to check/adjust tire air pressures on the road.
(I wish I knew the above the first time)
