ford front hubcap

I have a 2016 newmar on a ford chassie.I can't get the front hubcap off i am trying to get to the lugnuts. Thanks for any help. Kenny
  • Do not wrench on the caps. The two caps with the dimples can be pulled off and then remove the jam nuts.
  • Besides the dimples, it's easy to find the real nuts on a wheel simulator by the sound made when tapping them lightly with a wrench or similar. It's more of a clank than a tunk like the fakes.

    The real nuts are opposite each other.
  • Do you have simulators? If so, look for the simulated lug nuts with the dimples in the side. Those unscrew (there are 2 of them) and then you can take off the cover. You should have a "lug wrench" that fits those. I think they are 1 1/8" or something close to that size. The ones that do not have dimples in the side do not come off.
  • Likely two of the fake lug nut covers have small indents on them. Turn them counter-clockwise with your T-Handle wrench or you might need a 1 1/8 inch socket it someone way over tightened them.
