Re: hubcap removal
Not a silly question at all, I just installed these yesterday. I have all kinds of tools, but this one works well. Course I tape the wheel up first, two layers worth.
I'm new to hub caps, and perhaps it's just mine, but if you ask me the wheel was designed so there's a small gap around one of the nubs. Otherwise the cap fits flush to the wheel. I've found it easiest to install them with a little grease applied onto the nubs. Put the cap into position against the lower nubs, and give it "The Fonze: to pop it onto the top nubs.
