doesnt need to be packed with grease hence why there called dust covers there to stop dust getting in not to keep grease in, if you pack it with grease ittll just flick all over the inside of the center cap, just pop the dust caps of and pop your center caps on simples!

Ah ok, could be the answer. Strange how all 4 dont fit though. The back dust covers are a lot smaller but my centre caps still dont fit over. I'll try taking the dust cover off one wheel ans see if the centre cap fits. Suppose if I pack it with enought grease it should be ok.

It will be the dust covers that go over your hub nut.

They will be to large.

You may have had hub/bearing work done on the car at some point before you owned it, when they did this they may have replaced the dust covers with larger ones than standard.

I fitted a set of wheels yesterday and not all of the caps fitted. The wheels which the centre caps wouldn't fit on had recently had the bearings replaced and new dust covers fitted.

Whipped them off and the caps fitted.

Its fronts and backs and they are pushed right on. I'm confused as I thought these were designed for the Corsa B and Nova?

when you say cap i assume you mean the rear dust cap covering the wheel bearing and hub nut assembly? Should that be teh case first ensure that cover is pushed all the way home. If it is maybe you could try flattening it a little or removing it all together.

As above, the centre caps on my Speedlines fitted perfectly when they were on the car.

However, when I put the wheels on the car today, the centre caps simply will not press on, not even close. It looks like the cap covering the stub axle assembly is fouling the centre cap, stopping to going on.

Can anyone help me?
