How do you remove the hub dust covers on the wheels? Tap with rubber mallet to loosen? I want to grease the hubs. Thanks.

On my 178, the metal cover comes off with the wheel and tire. On the axle hub is a rubber seal that pries off (gently) and the zert is visible.

No, just take a flat edge screwdriver and gently pry the center cap off. After that as mcarter stated, gently pry the rubber seal off, zerk is behind.

Jato,
My center cap is behind the wheel, so I have to pull wheel to remove center cap, in my case the wheel has to be removed to grease hub using the axle grease zert. |

Must be a newer 'improvement' that FR did between your model year and mine. Haven't noticed that before. Will be more observant in the future to see if the newer models are copied after your or my style hub. |
