dak49 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 can anyone tell me is this fitted right someone said its ment to go on the outside of the stemco cap???thanks adrianIt looks correct to me, the plug should be hour glass shaped and the part that goes inside is tappered so it can be started in the plastic lens easily. One thing though, there should be a vent hole (very small) in the center of the plug so as the oil gets hot it can expand without blowing the plug out.Good LuckDak49 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4190-front-axle-hub-cap-is-this-right/#findComment-21903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldoggin' Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 The frame for your hubcap goes to the outside of the hub.

ThaddeusW Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I never worked on dayton wheels but I do believe you have the setup backwards. The hub cap must go on first to ensure a proper seal and then the half moon bracket goes on top of that. Then you just bolt it up. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

I believe you have them mounted backwards.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I went through the same thing with our F model. It wont fit on the outside. I just ran grease in the front hubs, and put silastic on both sides of the hubcap adaptor.
