Wheel Bolt Caps, Removing

CAUTION:

On vehicles with alloy wheels, do not pry out the wheel bolt caps with screwdriver. Rather, only use the special tool designed for this purpose (pulling hook in vehicle tool kit).

NOTE:

The wheel bolt caps must be removed before the wheel bolts can be loosened or tightened.

The pulling hook for removing the caps is located in the vehicle tool kit.
