Learn how to replace a hubcap on a semi-trailer in 3 Easy Steps.
Tools Needed
Mostly mud flaps are bolted in, so you need a ½ inch wrench and socket or a 9/16” wrench and socket for this project.
STEP #1:
Disconnect the PSI lines.
In this example, we are replacing a hubcap with a PSI system attached to it. So, first, we’ll disconnect the psi lines.
STEP #2:
Remove the Old Hubcap.
Remove the bolts around the perimeter of the hubcap, and remove the hubcap.
Let the oil drain into a pan
Remove the PSI insert.
STEP #3:
Install the New Hubcap.
Install Hubcap:
With a new seal installed onto the new hubcap, line it up with the bolt holes and install the bolts.
Reinstall PSI:
Thread the Thru Tee for the PSI system and reconnect the lines.
