SUBJECT:
HUB CAP RETENTION WITH 14 INCH ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEEL
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 DE VILLE AND FLEETWOOD
Figure 1 Hub Cap and Properly Seated Retainer
Some 1985 De Villes or Fleetwoods equipped with 14 inch aluminum wheels may have hub caps which are loose or rattle. This condition may be caused
by the retainer not being properly seated in the hub cap, see Figure 1.
Figure 2 Using an Arbor Press to Seat the Retainer
To repair this condition, use an Arbor Press to seat the retainer flush against the bottom of the hub cap, see Figure 2. The hub cap should be rotated from
the position it was originally installed and re-installed on the wheel in a new position to ensure a tight fit.
