How do you get OZ centre cap off then ???

[paulg390]

I know I'm not technical but this is ridiculous.... there is just a little round flat "nut" with a dimple at one edge of the circle.
Any tips as I can't find any "special tools" in the car... and I cant seem to turn it with a sharp innstrumet in the dimple either..
HHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP !
Thanks
"nice but dim"...

There is definitely a special tool for the caps, with a "pimple" to fit the "dimple" on the bolt end. In the jack bag? The previous owner must have had one, no other easy way to remove them without damage.

Thought so, but alas no sign of the tool anywhere.... lucky I haven't had a puncture, just wanted to get the wheels of for that refurb as went to Goodwoood with some Wegers today (Matt,Clive and Bob) and kept looking at their shiny wheels....
Anyone got one of these tools spare - or for loan for a very short time ...

I made one. Took about 5 mins ! Just found a bolt with the same diamater as the hols. Drilled a hole in the end then hammered a bit of nail into hole and finished off with superglue !

The used mole grips on said bolt. Hay presto ! Not exactly high tech but it worked and is still working !

mine lloks like a screw driver with a white handle, sometimes it rolls under the spare, or ring the last owner

Similar to Nick I found a bolt of the same diameter, cut the thread off to leave the plain shank and hex head, marked roughly where the hole was and ground it down with an angle grinder leaving a peg. Worked perfect first time and I can tighten and remove with a 13mm spanner now!
