Ok someone here has to have made a tool to remove the chrome lug nut covers on the Alcoa wheels...what a PITA to remove if you dont want to ruin them.

I know that their are commercially available tools but i'm sure someone has viable solution.....plus i'm cheap when it comes to once in a blue moon use tools [ok, not so much when i was on the bench working but i am no longer]
