I have a '13 6.0 and I'm wondering how to remove the chrome hub covers. I've not been able to find the answer in the manual or this forum and I don't want to randomly start prying to banging on thinks.

Also, does anyone know the proper socket size for the wheel nuts? I want to use a torque wrench to check them and 19mm seems closest, 11/16" seems too loose.

Thanks for your help.

Which Manual are you referring to, the LL or the Dexter?? If you don't have a Dexter manual, go here [a href="http://www.tritontrailers.com/content/DexterMANUAL.pdf"]http://www.tritontrailers.com/content/DexterMANUAL.pdf[/a] Oh, also crawl underneath and make sure it is a Dexter axle. The page says Triton Trailers but it's the correct Dexter manual.

Remove the wheel and hub cap removes from the back.

I crawled under to take a look at the inside of the wheel, and I still don't see how the chrome hub cap comes off. When you are looking at the back of the wheel, what do you do then to get the hub cap off?

If you are speaking of the domed cap that sticks out of the wheel covering the hub, whe the wheel is removed the cap comes off with the wheel.  If you want to remove the cap from the wheel just push it from the outside of the wheel through the center and the cap will fall off.
