I just replaced my German front drums on a 1967 camper and can not fit the grease cap back on driver side drum!!! I used Empi front drums!! I tried centering it and using a Brass mallet, but will not go on!! Do I have to buy a new or different Grease cap!!! I didn't think I needed to!! Can't drive the bus without it!! Anyone else have this problem??? Any help appreciated, Thanks

IIRC the bay window caps have a bigger ID. Try one of those.
