I have a problem attaching the hubs together. Is there a trick to this?

Having long arms helps .... there really isn't any trick ... just determination

I've only done it twice so far. Be sure all the struts are in the correct position. The last few inches offer a little more resistance, but when you get the hubs together pulling down on the cord while pushing up on the lowe hub, they sort of pop into place. As the previous poster said, long arms are helpful.

We made the same mistake--make sure the smaller section is turned full counter-clockwise relative to the white inner plastic piece that inserts into the upper handle. Then you should be able to reassemble them. Don't force the pieces together.

Had that same problem in the beginning. Just make sure the cable underneath is attached and you can adjusts the tension, just use your hands to make sure the cable is on wheel

I don't have an absolute answer. I'd just try to pull on one side, then another, etc. Hope you can get them apart soon. If not, I'd send them back. They should have had something between them to keep them separate.

The connectors come off too easily. Maybe google the company to see if they sell more parts. We bought two and they connect.

I remember having the same problem. Try something different for the spacer or cut the spacer in half. Once you get it to snap together, it will be fine. It has been assembled and in heavy use by my 5 year old since I bought it.

it was quite difficult to get them on my wheels without some damage to them. one wheel is particularly a problem ~ the cap simply won't stay on and i have had to pull over to the side of the road to retrieve it more than once. i will try to modify it somehow. i usually do my own work but once i had to have a mechanic replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. he removed the wheels to have more room to work. when he replaced them he refused to do the hubcaps fearing that he would do more damage because they were so difficult to put on. my guess is that the manufacture does not understand standard measurements.

You need to attach them with provided screws so they don't fall off. I did the same thing at first

It's been long enough now that I don't remember if I had to force this or not, but I don't remember having to do that. I remember mine assembling very easily. Hopefully you've got it working okay by now. Good luck!

No! Pop old ones off pop new ones on. Just make sure the new hubs are in the lock position when installing them. Great product!

Sounds more like the center bore of your wheels and hubs are different. You need hub centric ring spacers (based off how I'm interpreting what you're describing)

Yes, it's a problem. I couldn't get it to attach. Seems like it needs some type of connector piece to allow the two to attach to each other.

Mine did the same just work with them. Try going in at different angles and wiggle them. They will eventually

You have to pull them away from each other and then you can connect them together. It's like they are on a spring. One end goes into the other end. It takes a little muscle!

Use spudger tool to carefully port apart. Check you tube, very helpful instructional videos....

If it does not work one way try it the other way and push a bit of force. It should snap into place.

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.
