Front hub cap

[Anonymous-0]

I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my 8n. Is the hub cap threaded or does it just pop off like my old '76 F100? I tried gently prying it off and I tried turning it with a 1-1/16" open end wrench. That thing won't budge.

Thanks for any advice,

Steve

Steve the dayum thing is threaded, that's why it has the square part on top.

So you can unscrew it with a ranch!!!

Put a pipe wrench on it.. it will come off. Drill it and tap it for a grease zerk before you put it back on!

Righty tighty ... Lefty loosey. It's a darn shame all grease caps weren't made this well. I can't stand the tap in and pry off kind.
