truck rally's center caps come loose
I can't get all of the nuts to tighten down on 2 of my 4 wheels, so they eventually loosen up and of course almost fall off. I've tried loctite to no avail. I don't own a welder, so welding up the holes and re tapping them isn't an option. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: truck rally's center caps come loose
What do you mean by can't get all the nuts to tighten down? What happens when you try to tighten them? Can you show a picture?

Re: truck rally's center caps come loose
Wrap a paper clip around the bolts and tighten them .

Re: truck rally's center caps come loose
Should be bolts with a lock washer.
Start there

Re: truck rally's center caps come loose
The JB weld idea, I wondered if that might work. I think I'm going to try the paper clip idea first, and if that doesn't work, then the JB weld if the paper clip idea doesn't work.

Re: truck rally's center caps come loose
Paper clip of copper wire/thread works really well
