Minuit Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's always the simplest things... :hmm: I'm in the middle of a brake job/wheel bearing replacement on my '91 2wd (so no unit bearings) and I can't figure out how to get this stupid dust cap off. The FSM is of no help here. Any suggestions? It's the cap the goes over the entire hub assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 A small flat head screw driver between the cap and rotor and twist it off . If it still won't move hit the screw driver lightly with a hammer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I always pull them off with a BPC. (BIG Pair of Channel-Locks) :yes: If that doesn't work you can rent one of these at Autozone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Got them out with a screwdriver+hammer eventually. Oddly enough the driver side was much easier, that's the side that's never been worked on apparently. Thanks guys for the quick responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
