Wood Dale hub caps.
« on: December 18, 2017, 10:28:25 AM »
So just picked up this wood Dale!

Anyone know what's the easiest way to remove the hub cap, without damaging the cap? Once removed am I able to reuse the cap.
 
The reason being for cleaning, and one wheel has the whitewall wheel installed backwards onto the triangle.

I'm curios to that as well. I need to clean mine up but I hadn't look that close yet.

I don't have any special advice for getting them off, but you can get new ones if your removal doesn't go as planned:

The one set I took off I just used a pry bar under each side of the nut and worked it off applying alternating pressure.  I knew they were getting replaced so I wasn't worried about keeping them in good shape.

How about the tire tread. Any information in restoring the rubber? Or replacing, or is it one of those S.O.L.
