mixmasterlooney Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Right ladies and gents i have two of my wheel bolt covers come loose after having a CV boot change, they were always a bit wobbly on the front whereas the rear are tight. How can i reattach these bolt covers and is that even possible? what is the best solution here, new bolts? There are alot of bolt covers on eBay but how would i go about removing the other covers if i were to buy a new set of bolt covers that are of a different colour?

Chris_pickford94 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 A strong glue should do the job As long as your wheels aren't on and off that often, it should hold onto the wheel nut easily In work I use mitre fast (or mitre mate) a lot and it seems to stick pretty much anything I've tried instantly and is pretty strong and durable Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_pickford94 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Loctite do a sort of superglue which is very strong but I can imagine it being quite pricey compared to mitre fast The only other sort I could recommend are 2 part epoxy glues Mitre fast should be plenty strong enough tho, I've used it in work on metal parts of washing machines and it holds no problem Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thank you gents I will give mitre fast/mate a go first before trying other glue as I have it to hand already. If this fails I will compare the other two glue to new bolts price wise Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think a can of mitre mate is about 6 quid. Hopefully I won't need to go down that route Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke23 tdci Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you look on the edge of the cover there's little dents on each side. Place nut in the cover and use screw driver to tap the cover back on the nut. They are just pressed on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
