Troubleshooting
Hub cap is difficult to install
Ensure the hub opening is clean and free of debris. Check that you are attempting to fit the correct 66mm diameter cap. Apply firm, even pressure. If necessary, use a rubber mallet gently on the edge of the cap.
Hub cap rattles or feels loose
The hub cap may not be fully seated. Remove and re-install, ensuring it is pressed in completely. If the hub opening is worn, a slightly larger diameter cap or a securing method may be required, though this specific cap is designed for a snug fit.
Rust spots appear on the surface
While zinc-plated steel is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause minor surface rust. Clean the area with a soft cloth and water. For persistent spots, a non-abrasive metal polish can be used sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This hub cap is specifically designed for Alko hubs and axles with a 66mm diameter. It is crucial to measure your existing hub or axle fitting before purchase to ensure compatibility.
Setup: The hub cap is designed for a simple press-fit installation. Align the cap with the hub opening and apply firm, even pressure until it is seated securely. A rubber mallet can be used gently if needed, ensuring not to damage the cap or the hub.
Care: To maintain the appearance and protective qualities of the hub cap, clean it periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the zinc plating. For deeper cleaning, mild soap and water are recommended. Regularly check that the hub cap remains securely fitted.
