Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? 1 Attachment(s)
Removing & reinstalling spyder hubcaps - Aside from common sense (pry a little, work around the circumference and don't scratch) are there any tips for this job? I think these are '36 hubcaps on '37 wheels? Corrections are welcome.

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? From the backside with a stick is how I used to do it..Make sure you have someone catch it or put a thick towel down.

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? Make a simple slide hammer with a hooked end. Full control from the front, no prying, no need for access from behind the wheel.

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? The only time I had to remove one of those I was instructed to use a tool to pull where the normal wide five caps stop. I was instructed to NOT pull on the extensions that cover the wide spokes of the wheel. I did as instructed and the hubcap popped off just like any other wide five cap.

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? I have one spyder that seems tight when I install it but has flown off on two successive rides. I heard something about putting weatherstripping behind it…..how??

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? You may want to check to see if the part of the hubcap that covers the spoke is hitting a spoke. Having no clearance on that part of these hubcaps was a problem if you happen to have Bill Hirsch reproductions. Just a thought.

Re: Tips to remove spyder hubcaps? Its the clips on the wheel that secure the hubcap.Check those and replace as necessary.

Here's a little rig I buggered together. No moving parts, the end that contacts the wheel rim is a piece of wood dowel, the hooked end was heated and hammered to fit the concave edge of the cap. A little tug and off it comes. Easy-PeasyAttachment 524177
