Topic: Hubcap installation on 40 Ford

  I have a problem trying to install the stock hubcaps (Ford Deluxe) without denting the cap. I think you are to use the heal of your hand, being 76 years old I can't develop the force to pop it on. I use a rubber hammer to install the caps and end up dinting the cap. My son said, why do your caps have dents? I said that when I learn to install them without denting them I'll buy new ones. Anybody have any suggestions?

  Hit them on the rim (edge) with the rubber hammer and they should go on without denting.
