AX MK1 Rear dust caps

Post by rubjonny »

I've just done the rear brake shoes on my girlfriends AX MK1, and had to pretty much destroy one of the dust caps to get it off. I have one on order, but I was just wondering if it is safe to drive the car without it or not?

From a safety point of view, I shouldn't worry about it, providing the nut is staked. Long term, I suppose dust could gather on the grease.

OK cool, I was just worried the cap might be load bearing or something!
