Question NT-03 front caps will not fit!...is there a fix?

The cap for the hub nut is too big. It "pushed" the cap out when I installed the wheels. Is one out there w/ an lower height that can fit?

Is this on the front? If it ALMOST fits, you can hammer in the center hub cap to make room. Isn't glamorous, but it does work and won't hurt anything. Been there, done that.

It may just need a lil pinch. A lot of times the cap is too perfect which creates a little pressure bubble under it. Mine would go on but just kinda pop back off a few seconds later. Easy way to fix it is to get a pair of needle nose pliers and just bend the cap a little so it lets out the air as you push it in. Don't bend it a lot; just a tad.

I will keep that in mind....first thing I am going to do is just simply push it it in with a few taps from a blunt and hammer.
