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.
