HI all,
does anybody know how to take the wheel covers off?
MG_1505.jpgHi guys,
Iīm from germany and I own a 1999 Pace Arrow, Ford Triton V10, 35ft. The motorhome is stored in Michigan and I use it when Iīm in the USA for vacations.
On my last trip from Florida to Michigan the right rear brake has problems. The brakepads are worn out and so I stopped with the disk. No I need new pads and disks, but even Ford couldnīt tell me exactly, which spareparts I need, because there are many different. I gave them the VIN number, but I got from different mechanics differnet answers.
Now I donīt know what I have to buy. Perhaps someone of you could help me to find the right parts, because I would like to replace the disk and the pads by myself.
This is a picture from the wheels. There a wheel cover and there a 8 lugs. Does that mean, that the disk has 8 bolts, too?
I tried to remove the cover last year, but I donīt know how.
Can I pull it off or is the cover fixed? I couldnīt find anything that fixed the cover.
I hope that you can understand my english...........
Thanks
Joe
HI all,

You (probably) have eight lug nuts on your wheel cover. Two of them will be marked in some way (mine have indents) and they will be opposite of each other. Remove these two and the wheel cover should come off.![]()

Joe my HR has 4 lugs that hold the hub caps on. These four lugs are not very tight so come of easy with a socked and ratchet. There are eight lugs under the cap that hold the wheels on. These are torque and not easy removed.

hi Joe, I have a Fleetwood Southwind, the similators come off. AS stated before the lug nuts will have indents on the 2 that is holding it on they are straight across from one another. The wheel itself is held on buy 8 lug nuts

Hi all,
wonderful, that will help me :-) thanks a lot!
But I have another question:
The wheel has 8 bolts.
I contacted Ford and they gave me this numbers:
The part numbers you need are 8u9z-2001-c for the rear pads and
f81z-2c026-aa for the rear rotor.
I found a picture in the internet that shows 10 holes in this rotor, but my wheel has only 8 bolts.
Is there something between the wheel and the brake disc?I canīt look at my motorhome, because it is in the USA and I found no picture that shows me the contruction from the brake and axle.
I know german car breaks but no american motorhome breaks

Joe maybe two of the holes are lineup but dont know. Will probably be finding out before lons because we have 45k on our MH and brakes are probably in the near future.
