Question Gahhhh!

After a long frustrating day of work, I come home. I want to check something, so I pull off the front driver's side hubcap (Sport Wheel Cover, see my gallery for pictures). And now, well, I can't get it back on. It seems simple enough, line it back up with the bolts and the tire filler tube and it should be good to go. But the tire filler tube and the bolts aren't lining up with each other! If I get it on so it lines up with the bolts, the tube is an inch or so off and I can't get it all to work out.

Maybe I'm just still frayed from work.... I'll try again later, but any tips would be appreciated!

(What I was checking, by the way, was my front left caliper... I believe it locked up. It's not like the garage didn't go ahead and "fix" it for inspection without me asking or anything.... )

I don't think you have to line up the lug nuts with these, just the filler tube. These are hubcaps, and the outside decoration is just decoration.
