concerning lug caps

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

The cars that came with those caps also came with a little black plastic U-shaped tool for removing the caps.  Look in the junkyard and tell the guy that you will give him $0.50 for it if he can guess what it is.  Voila - free tool.  The tool should be in the tool kit with the jack.  That or any dealership should have the tool for a few cents - caps, too.

Subject: concerning lug caps



I bought a set (16) of lug caps - you know, those black plastic do-jobbies <br>that fit over the lug bolts to hold the wheel on, got 'em off of ebay, <br>figured they'd go nicely with the new wheels on the car.However. the holes <br>in the wheel for the lug bolts re deep - I test fit one of my fugly old ones <br>and couldn't get it off w/o mangling the plastic all to hell with a air of <br>needlenose pliers<br>Any ways to get them off neatly/cleanly? Or do I just kiss the 16 bucks away <br>and give up on that idea?<br>FWIW it's the gt 5-spoke wheel I asked about regarding tire rubbing a few <br>weeks ago.<br>Wheel as seen here - <br>http://photobucket.com/albums/v613/g-rocco/?action=view&current=IMG_3482.jpg<br> Greg.<br><br>-- <br>Aronsons First Law<br>People who do crazy things are not necessarily crazy<br>_______________________________________________<br>Scirocco-l mailing list<br>Scirocco-l@scirocco.org<br>http://neubayern.net/mailman/listinfo/scirocco-l<br>
