Installing tractor trailer lug nut covers is a relatively simple process that can be done by a single person with basic tools.
You'll need a lug wrench and a socket to remove the existing lug nuts, and a new set of lug nut covers to replace them.
The lug nut covers should be made of a durable material, such as rubber or plastic, to withstand the elements and heavy use.
It's essential to choose the right size of lug nut covers for your tractor trailer, as the wrong size can cause damage or interfere with the lug nuts.
Make sure to check the manufacturer's instructions for specific installation procedures, as some lug nut covers may have unique requirements.

Rusty or worn caps can be a real challenge to remove, but our handheld electric impact wrenches for lug nuts or a heavy-duty air impact wrench can make quick work of them.
If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn lug nut, consider using a welding torch - it's the only thing tougher on stuck chrome lug nut covers!
