Thank you for the video. Saved me $30.00 not buying a dust cover tool. Instead, I spent a little over $2.00 for a 2” PVC connector at Home Depot and it worked great.

I spent 15-20 minutes trying to get a dust cap on a wheel bearing. I was thinking that I had the wrong size dust cap. I used a caliper to determine that it was the right size, but I still couldn't fix it. I found this video and tried it. It took less than 5 seconds to get it on. I could not get over how simple it was using your method. Thank you for sharing, because I would still be beating on it otherwise.

So easy. Was getting frustrated for about 10min then thought someone on TH-cam must have a trick for it. Well done found a piece of pipe and literally two whackes and it was in. 5sec tops. Cheers mate good video

I struggled with a cheap flimsy new cap for an hour and gave up after I rimmed the POS. I then picked up the old cap from the trash can and it went right in.

Man I’ve been fighting with the caps on a log splitter so far have wasted $40 on two sets as I get in the groove and start hammering harder which in return dents them up big time.

Can you do this with the wheel already on?

Man, don't call me out like that

Glue a cap on the pvc and hit that instead of the wood a dead blow hammer works very nice

Mine are tight drove in perfect still flew off

[@imxploring]

You need a bigger hammer! LOL

Hahahah. I’ve done it with sledges but I only had a PT 2x4… would have split way faster. Hahah.

I knew I could use a piece of pipe but I didn't even think about PVC. That's definitely going to save some money at Home Depot. Thank you! I also didn't think about using grease either.

My caps are 2.44. The REAL issue are the junk chinese caps. The ones I got mic-ed 2.469 and 2.480. Short of using a hydraulic press they aren't going on. I'll go hunt down a 2.5 PVC pipe and give it one more try.
