Question:

I’m assuming there’s a RH and LH and thats due to threads? Where can i get a socket or tool to fit this?

The Phoenix USA Wheel Center Cap part # PXQ2010 has right hand threads (threads run clockwise) but that does not mean there is a left and right hand cap. You will need to check the bracket of your existing cap to see if there is a L at the end of number on the bracket. If there is a L then you will need a left hand thread. This is common on Freightliners. If you do not have the L for "left hand thread" you can use the PXQ2010.

The cap installs with the included bracket on the axle plate, using the existing hardware. Then you can use the center cap screw to tighten down the cap screw to hold the hub cover in place. I have attached a video for your reference.
