Thanks for your videos there really helping me and my dad
Thanks for showing this. Personally, I would clean up the oily muck before
doing anything else on the rim!
Hey, Chris! I sent you an email some months ago asking for this video.
Thank you for your attention! It was very helpful to me.
Great info. I used a stainless steel button head allen screws to replace
mine with aircraft nuts to secure them in place. Had to bevel the hole
slightly to keep them off the drums. My ways not as original or German as
yours but makes it faster to replace them when they break. Thanks for the
video.
Isnt hitting two hammers together kinda dangerous? first rule we learnt at
machine shop. Maybe the rivet absorbed the impact. Still, very helpful
video, thanks
Thanks man! Good video!
A cold chisel takes 3 hits. Use good clips that aren’t way open like that
one, a more closed end works better and doesn’t grad the hub cap.
thanks
great tip thanks
very nice. thank you for the vids
Bought clips and hub caps for my VW Thing and had no idea how to install
until I saw your video – Thanks!
