stupid stupid wheel nut covers!!!

got a rear wheel puncher in cupra tdi today, so had to do a quick change by side of the road. have only had the car a month or two so this was the first time i had a wheel off. how frustrating are those stupid feckin plastic wheel nut covers!!! did someone at seat HQ think lets play a little joke, if someone is not upset enuff from getting a puncher lets put some daft fecking plastic caps over the bolts that are a pain in the ars to remove with the stupid little wire tool that seem to have been designed for the sole perpus of taking the paint off ya wheels. jesus, maybe its just me needless to say they did not go back on!

Piece of cake using the tool that should be in your tool kit, just push it on and off they come.

you must have a differant tool than me. mine is like a bit of wire bent into the shape of a number 9 with a hook on the end to get behind the cap. its a tight fit and you can only pull from 1 side at a time so it cap gets cocked n stuck and the tool stips out taking the paint off the wheel. it must be the rite tool cos it fits in the molded tray ontop of the spare wheel.

Thats the tool for a centre cap with a hole in it, wrong one.

The one you should have is like a plastic pair of tweezers.
