No prying on your nicey-nice painted wheels. Just be sure to catch the cap with your free hand to avoid dings.... 7567808-hubtool.jpg (167 downloads) 1MYTGTX

Used to use a claw hammer wrapped in a rag, but it would contact the rim. The tool shown above does not. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120
