Hand pushable or need it be pressed into the bushings. I figure the pressing would hamper proper greasing. Also, which direction should the dust cap be turned? Logic seems to place the dome downward rather than upward. Thanks in Advance  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,228 | Snug is how I would describe them. Tight enough to not fall out, but loose enough for it to turn with a little muscle.
The dust caps are little frost plugs, same as used in the engine block. The dish goes down with the crown facing up or out. Then take a dull punch and hit the center, this spreads out the cap forming a tight fit in the hole.
