Putting hub caps on your car can be a hassle. They’re bulky, they take up space, and they make it difficult to open the door. In addition, they can be a safety hazard if you don’t remove them properly. Here are four easy steps to taking off hubcaps without any trouble: Step 1: Start by parking your car in a raised position. This will make it easier to reach the hubcaps from the inside of the car. Step 2: Remove the hubcap from the wheel using a wrench or spanner. Make sure to hold onto the lug nuts while you do this! Step 3: If you still have the hubcap in hand, use a hammer and a piece of scrap metal to bash it off of the wheel. This will help free it from the lug nuts. Step 4: Once the hubcap is free, gently drop it into a garbage bin or recycling bin. Thank you for making removing your hubcaps slightly easier!
