Frequently Asked Questions About Hino 238-338 Truck Frame Nut Covers
Will these frame nut covers fit my specific Hino truck model and year?
These frame nut covers are designed specifically for Hino 238 and 338 series trucks manufactured from 2005 to present. They fit the standard 33mm lug nuts used on these models. Before ordering, verify your truck uses 33mm lug nuts by measuring with a socket or checking your owner's manual. The covers are not compatible with Hino 258, 268, or larger series trucks as those models use different lug nut sizes.
What material are these nut covers made from, and how long will they last?
Our Hino frame nut covers are manufactured from ABS plastic with a chrome-plated finish or stainless steel, depending on the style you choose. The ABS plastic versions typically last 2-3 years with regular maintenance, while stainless steel options can last 5+ years. Both materials are resistant to road salt, UV rays, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40?F to 180?F. Regular cleaning with soap and water will significantly extend their lifespan.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. Simply remove your existing lug nuts one at a time, slide the nut cover over the wheel stud, then reinstall and torque your lug nut to factory specifications (typically 450-500 ft-lbs for Hino 238/338 trucks). The entire installation takes approximately 30-45 minutes for all wheels. No drilling, cutting, or modifications are required. Each set includes detailed instructions with torque specifications.
Do these nut covers affect wheel removal or maintenance procedures?
No, these nut covers do not interfere with routine maintenance or emergency wheel changes. They add only 3-4mm of clearance to your existing setup and are designed with cutouts that allow standard lug wrenches and impact sockets to fit properly. During tire rotations or brake service, simply remove them along with the lug nuts. Many fleet operators report no additional time added to their maintenance schedules.
What styles and finishes are available, and how many covers come in a set?
We offer three main styles: standard dome covers, pointed spike covers, and flanged flat-top covers. Finishes include chrome-plated, polished stainless steel, and powder-coated black. Sets are sold based on your truck configuration - standard sets include 60 pieces (10 per wheel for 6-wheel trucks), while sets for 10-wheel configurations include 100 pieces. All necessary covers for your complete truck are included in each set, with 2-4 spare covers provided depending on the package.
