hupcap installation

am replacing a lost Buick hubcap or wheel cover as they are now called.
This hupcap has 5 areas of metal parts on the rear of it. Are you familiar
with this type of hupcap and what is the best way to install. Can it be just
banged on etc. Thanks for any assistance.

Yes....use your palm or a rubber mallet...ask any OLDER guy he will
tell you...

Hell I am in my 60's and typing this answer I honestly now realize
that a BUNCH of young guys never ever had to remove or put on a hub
cap... or even drove on the highway with 75 mph LEGAL speed limits...

I feel OLD..all of a sudden

Yup, I was talking to one of our Engineering Coop students at work the other
day about cars. I mentioned carburetors, he exclaimed you mean like a lawn
mower?

And he remembers hearing about that Clint Eastwood guy, wasn't he a cowboy
or something?

Man is he that young or am I that old?
