Hub Caps And Wheel Nut Caps
You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel
nuts.
If you have individual
wheel nut caps that
cover each nut, they
must be removed in order to get the wheel
nuts. Use the socket
end of the wheel
wrench
to remove the
wheel nut caps.
Your wheel nut caps may attach your hub cap to the wheel. Remove these
wheel nut caps and retaining ring (if
so equipped) before you take off the
hub cap.
If you have just an aluminum or plastic molded hub cap, pry it
off with the
chisel end of your wheel wrench.
Some
of the molded
plastic hub caps have imitation wheel nuts
molded into them. The
wheel wrench won’t
fit these imitation
nuts,
so don’t try to
remove them with the socket end of the
wheel wrench.
