Six-sided Chrome Lug Nut Covers

[Freddy]

My wife knocked one of these off with the lawnmower, and I'm having a fit trying to get it back on.

Anyone have a solution?

Have you tried putting the lawnmower in reverse?? FREDDY, I'm sorry! I just could not stop myself. ED

No, but I did put her in reverse

A call to Workhorse put me onto Alcoa. I checked their website, and sure enough there's a link for RV's.

I sent their customer service an e-mail asking for information about the wheel cover, but haven't heard from them yet. Hopefully they'll respond next week.

FREDDY: I'll be shocked if you find ALCOA has a wheel cover. You might want to try a google search for wheel "covers" or "simulators" or try : http://www.hubking.com or 877-482-5464 ED

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that they had wheel covers. They do make wheel covers, and I'm looking for a repair method for one that they manufacture.

See http://www.alcoa.com/alcoawheels/nor...ge/class_a.asp
for more information.

....I'd keep them off unless the lug nuts have anti-seize on them......geofkaye

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Keep what off unless lug nuts have anti-seize?

......fancy lug nut covers....they hold moisture and cause threads to rust...makeing it hard to get the lug off with out a air wrench or a 10' cheater bar.....or you might break one off....causes cussing....geofkaye

Have you tried the simple route? Ask a Winnie dealer if they have a replacement part. I think you will find that the covers are provided from a vendor through Winnie.

That's what I have road service for.

I'd prefer to put the little bugger back on the existing cover if I can.

And, in fact I did get it back on. Not sure how long it will last, but so far it's holding. I'll find out next month when we head out for a WIT meeting 200 miles away.
