Introduction

Maybe a hubcap on your car came loose or you just want a quick aesthetic upgrade. This guide explains removing and replacing plastic hubcaps on a 2006 Nissan Altima. Simple enough for anyone to do in just a few minutes!

Plastic hubcaps can be purchased online or at an auto parts store and are the only necessary material for this replacement. Using a tool to remove the current hubcap can be useful, but in most cases you can pull them off with your hands! Save time and money and do this fix yourself!
