Locking Wheel Nut Caps

[Seb]

I got a nail throught one of my goodyears on the way home from work on monday night!

As I've changed my wheels I decided to use the MGF locking wheel nuts with the silver caps that fit on top!

It took me about an hour to change my wheel (in the dark and rain) because i couldnt get the stupid little cap off? In the end i used two flat head screwdrivers to kind of lever it off, however this has slightly marked the wheel.

Does anyone know the correct procedure to remove these caps, in case it happens again in the furture??

Cheers

I do have some kind of plastic tool but not sure if it is broken as i cant figure out how to make it grip them??

it's a kind of plastic cylinder with prongs at one end?? if that makes sense?

That's it Seb! Just push the end with the prongs onto the cap, it will click, and then pull!

yh just what stew says, it deos sometimes need a firm push to get it to click, but it should work!!

That's it Seb! Just push the end with the prongs onto the cap, it will click, and then pull!

You're telling me i spent an hour prising it off with a couple of screwdrivers when i could've just pushed that plastic thing on??

Now I feel ashamed!!!
