My bus never had any type cover over the drive axle, so I just ordered and installed new stainless covers for the drive wheels. Did not have to remove the rear wheels to make the change. Removed 5 nuts from each wheel, installed the covers and replaced the nuts. 2nd time I've used my X12 wrench.
Also changed the 4 small round covers on the steer and tag axles from chrome to stainless and changed all 60 of the nut covers to stainless. All for about $200.
The first picture is the "before" on the rear. The axle behind the center cover was just painted gray. I also got tired of having to frequently get the rust off the chrome nut covers. One thing I need to clarify: the 4th picture shows the front or tag wheel and the lug nut covers have dents in them. The pictures do not show the new nut covers, because I ordered the wrong ones and had to return them. I now have the right ones, but I made the pictures last week. Everything I ordered is nice quality 304 stainless.
I had trouble getting the pictures to show up as normal, so you may have to click on the attachments below if you want to see them. If anyone can tell me what went wrong, I will appreciate it.
