Hub Caps Q?

[timothy]

Anyone figure out a way to keep them on without essentially falling off?
I keep the OTG in the garage and it has a third wheel, so moving it in&out is easy, but this is like the third time I lost one or both Hub Caps.
Super glue? or maybe use a pair of channel locks to roughen up the axle?
I bought the original Weber ones and the generic ones from Ace and they both pop off eventually.
I'm getting to the point just to sub them out and use some 3/8" shaft collars with a set screw, dimple the axle so the set screw has some bite.
Any ideas??

are you getting them on properly ? cuz its a real pain to take them off. if i had a problem i would just drill a hole and install a cotter pin.

Yep, they hold good and I can't pull em off at first.I do the old block of wood on one side and a mallet on the other After a month or so one or both will work loose and fall off.

no idea then. try other clips or designs. as i said i would just drill holes and install cotter pins or some such thing.

Yea me neither. The shaft collars I know will hold and I got some spares.
Thanks.
