How to Remove an RV Dually Hubcap

An large flat-head screwdriver is all you need to get hubcaps off a dually RV's wheels.

RV dually (dual-rear-wheel axle) hubcaps are easy to remove. The process is no different than it is for pulling a wheel cover off a car rim. You can have all of an RV's hubcaps off in a matter of minutes. While there is a special tool for hubcap removal, all you really need is a large flat-head screwdriver. Essentially, you will use the screwdriver like a crowbar.

Things You'll Need

• Large flat-head screwdriver

Instructions

1. Insert a large flat-head screwdriver between an edge of the hubcap and the rim of the RV's wheel.

2. Firmly lever the screwdriver up and down or side to side.

3. Move the screwdriver to a different prying point if the hubcap did not come off in Step 2. Repeat this as many times as necessary, working your way around the rim.

4. Insert a second screwdriver between the edge of the hubcap and the wheel rim should Step 3 fail. Lever this screwdriver and the first one, at opposite prying points. The hubcap should come off.
