Re: Hubcap removal...

If you mean the small hubcaps that fit onto the nubs...use your lug wrench and stick the flat end under the edge of the cap. Lay the other end onto the tire, and press to permit the cap to pop off. To reinstall, place the cap onto two of the nubs and smack it so it slips over the third one. (You know that someone would ask how, at some point).
