I purchased a used 528 that was missing a hub cap on one of the wheels. I purchased the hub cap online but am at a loss as to how to install it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I figured it out. There's a hexagonal plastic piece that was with the spare. The piece fits over the hub cap. You use the lug wrench to tighten the assembly until it snaps into place. Thanks for checking back with me.
