How to Replace the Wheel Cover on a 2009 HHR

Replacing the wheel cover on your 2009 HHR involves one of the preliminary steps necessary to change a tire, and its a fairly simple process. Botching one of the steps, however, or forgetting to ensure the security of your replacement cover could result in damage to your car or even an accident, as covers can go flying if they arent properly secured. Replacing the wheel cover on your 2009 HHR requires thoughtful attention to both the removal of the old cover as well as the placement of the new cover.

Instructions

1

Pry the cover off of your HHRs wheel using a flat-head screwdriver or the flat end of your lug wrench. There will be a small insertion point into which you can place the screwdriver or the lug wrench. A simple prying motion will release the wheel cover.

2

Position the new wheel cover so that the valve stem in the tire extends through valve-stem hole in the wheel cover. Standard HHR tires have 16-inch wheels, so you will need 16-inch replacement covers unless you have modified your HHR with different tires.

3

Secure the wheel cover in place by hand. There is a seam running along the edge of the wheel into which the inner edge of the wheel cover will fit securely. You should be able to move your hands away from the wheel without the wheel cover falling off.

4

Tap around the edges of the wheel cover gently with a soft mallet, hammer or the edge of the lug wrench, depending on how caul you want to be in handling your new wheel cover.
