[JohnM]

Hope you can help.I need to remove the chromed plastic caps from the wheel nuts, the tool supplied is useless the only thing i have managed to remove with the tool is the skin from my fingers.Hope my fellow funsters can help.

I agree.. I use a couple of screwdrivers.. one on each side.. They pop off nice and easy

Good idea,but i need to get the bloody things of first

Before fitting mine I had read that water gets trapped and accelerates corrosion which makes them very tight. I used a waterproof bicycle bearing grease from Halfords

Try these, they work on the larger wheel nut covers...

Failing that put "wheel nut cover removal tool" in ebay and the ones for small wheel nuts come up.

Crikey, I thought that was 'gassed' them before fitting when I read it at first!

Try a pair of the old fashioned "Pincers" if you can open the jaws far enough to get behind the cover it should work
