Dubro 5.00TL wheel
I have the Dubro 5.00TL (5") wheels on my Stinson SR-9.
The wheel hub l came apart, there's 4 bolts inside, looks like if I took the hub cap off I could screw them back in to hold the hub together.
Problem is, the hub cap doesn't appear to come apart.
I don't see any threads inside the holes either.
Is this supposed to just snap apart?
I could put epoxy in the holes and reassemble it?
Anyone seen this before?

Sounds like the wheel's already been modified, the dubro lt wheels I have don't have any screws or hubcaps, mine are just 1 piece molded plastic rims, would like to see what you have post a picture.

Interesting, guess I've just not seen what they look like when the inserts let loose, if those inserts are molded in then you may have to glue them in, or drill through and nut and bolt them.

My Feedback: (3)
Did you buy the plane (or the wheels) used? Those rims look suspiciously like the rims on Hangar 9 cub wheels. Could be someone put Dubro tires on the Hangar 9 rims. Those are the only ones I've seen screw together like that. And if I recall, they used long bolts, not screws, which may be why yours separated. What does the outside of the rims look like?

Nope, they're original Dubro wheels.
On these, you'll never see the screws unless they come apart.
I filled the screw holes with epoxy and glued them back together.
The 'hub cap' portion is molded onto the rim the way it looks.
I still think they got two part 'A's, instead of a part 'A' and 'B' like they should have.
Then, there'd be threads in one half.
