Setup and Installation
The Excalibur Chrome Plated Steel Closed End Trailer Wheel Center Cap is designed to fit trailer wheels with a center hole diameter between 3.28 inches and 3.30 inches, typically found on 5-lug trailer wheels with a 4-1/2 inch to 5 inch bolt circle.
Tools Required:
- Soft mallet or rubber hammer (optional, for gentle tapping)
- Clean cloth
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the wheel's center bore is clean and free of debris, rust, or old cap residue.
- Align the new Excalibur center cap with the center bore of the trailer wheel.
- Gently push the center cap into the wheel's bore. It should fit snugly.
- If resistance is met, apply even pressure around the cap's edge. A soft mallet can be used to gently tap the cap into place, ensuring not to damage the chrome finish.
- Verify that the cap is fully seated and secure in the wheel.

Function and Usage
The Excalibur Closed End Trailer Wheel Center Cap serves to protect the wheel hub and bearing assembly from road debris, moisture, and other environmental elements. Its chrome-plated finish also contributes to the aesthetic appearance of the trailer wheel.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your center cap.
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome surface regularly with a mild automotive soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the chrome finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the center cap for any signs of damage, looseness, or corrosion. Ensure it remains securely seated in the wheel.
Troubleshooting
- Cap does not fit: Double-check the diameter of your wheel's center bore. This cap is designed for 3.28"-3.30" openings. Ensure there are no obstructions in the bore.
- Cap feels loose: Ensure the cap is fully seated. If it continues to be loose, the wheel bore might be slightly oversized, or the cap's retention clips might be damaged. Consider contacting the seller for assistance.
