Removing the Wheel Covers
If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers, be sure to
use a wheel wrench to begin the process of loosening
the plastic wheel nut caps.
Once you have loosened
the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench, if needed,
you can finish loosening
them with your fingers.
Then, using the flat end of the wheel wrench, pry along
the edge of the wheel cover until it comes off. Be
careful; the edge may be sharp. Don’t try to remove the
cover with your bare hands.
Removing the Wheel Center Caps
To remove a center cap,
use the wrench to pry
gently at the notch. Don’t
use a tool that is narrower
than the wrench to pry at
this notch. Then pry off
the cap.
