I'm thinking of rebuilding one side of my front wheel assemblies.
I already put the dust cap on.
Is there any way to remove it without destroying it?
If not does anyone know the replacement part? It has a ford logo on it, so I assume it's a stock part.
Thanks

You can use a small pry bar or screwdriver and work around the edge. You can brute force them with large channel locks, but that leaves marks.

Thanks. I'm just concerned about chewing them up. I can't imagine they are very expensive to replace.

I have an old screwdriver that the blade is very worn and the corners are round. Perfect for such things. You can get replacements from any Mustang supplier, Summit, Jegs, etc.

Not prohibitively expensive, but more expensive than you would think.
If you can save the old ones, try to.
