Grease Cap

Posted by Paul E. Gallagher On 2012/8/20 21:22:29

The grease cap on my car keeps comming off. I hear it rattle and then it ends up getting stuck inside the wheel cover. It seems tight when I put it back on, but it comes loose in a couple of miles. I have 3 ideas:
1. Buy a replacement from the usual suspects, but $25 seems like a lot of money.

2. Can I find a replacement from NAPA or other local auto parts store?

3. A Packard friend suggested that I cut across the diameter, making 2 slits in the outer rim. Then slightly bend the cuts outward to make it fit tighter.

Any comments from the experts out in Packard Land?
