Thanks Matt. My air valve was hidden behind the hub and this video helped me remove the hub to access it.

[@MattStephensRich]

Sneaky sneaky!

[@CatWhiskerClaws]

You are very informative! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@MattStephensRich]

Glad it was helpful!

Also, once hubcap is installed, pull on the hubcap to make sure it's securely installed, to assure the hubcap will NOT come off while driving.

[@MattStephensRich]

Gratefully has good clip action, so get a good feedback when secured in place

[@turbospeed08]

Lol, I thought I would need to remove the lug nuts to replace the cover

[@MattStephensRich]

Nope!

[@kaylat6195]

I do 😭 idk how I’m gonna do it

[@Hubcaps219]

oh my God! that looks like a prius hubcap. the design has an issue where the hubcaps don't ever fit all the way on there even if done properly. when you hit the curbs, the cap shatters.

[@MattStephensRich]

gratefully a quick swap!

[@reycuevas1971]

thanks

[@MattStephensRich]

you bet!

[@wesleynissan1]

i bought some wheel covers for my nissan altima not knowing my rims were aluminum, will i be able to install them?

[@MattStephensRich]

Aluminum usually don’t use hub caps (these are steel rims). So may not fit

[@milosbakanjoza]

Did you keep broken one if you mabe loose that one or lost badge from dthat one

[@MattStephensRich]

Naw, I pitched it.

[@LanceMcGrew]

One of those "like trying to put a wet noodle in a wild cats butt"

[@MattStephensRich]

Sheer poetry.

[@mikepeugeot7344]

I'd be much more concerned abt my alignment or slow flat rather than the Hubcap.

[@MattStephensRich]

Alignment was checked at the local shop. 😊

[@apostolllos]

these come off way too easy, someone could steal them

[@MattStephensRich]

I mean, with a resale of 10 to 20 bucks, hardly a prized possession to be swiping

[@apostolllos]

@@MattStephensRich I've seen people use zip-ties on those so I bet people do steal them sometimes
