Bbs rc anniversary centre cap removal tool, what's everyone use as the oem bbs item is sh!te and I need one quick
Help?
-
mine are tightened on by hand and remopved by hand with force.
Sometimes i spray abit of wd40 to help losen the threads, leave for abit and then try. Be warned it does cane your hands
-
:evil: got one off other don't wanna know and it's ruined the bbs tool!!! Mate at the main dealer has a new tool ordered and it will be here tomo. I had the car booked in for 2 front continentals today, iv had to postpone till tomo now. Not a happy bunny today haha
-
Even with the tool, it can be a pain and damage your alloys. Thats why i do it by hand
-
Gonna do the same in future mate
-
There was a company on Ebay doing a plastic spanner which goes around the whole cap.
I bought one a couple of years back and its excellent but looking on Ebay the company are no longer trading :undecided: :sad:
-
I was gonna pm u rhyso as I remember the one u had and I also looked on the bay for it

Yeah someone else asked about it a couple of months back and I looked but sadly its no longer available :sad:
I'll have another look around - although the company isn't on Ebay maybe they still exist in the real world :undecided:
-
Looking back I made a payment to Brenell Performance Products but a Google search brings nothing up :undecided:
I now they were based down Torquay way near Rich I think as he might well have gone and picked his up :undecided:
-
cheers for looking mate, ill see how i get on with the new bbs tool tomo (they are not a good design for the RC rims at all)
-

Considering the wheels themselves are nice looking you'd think they would have come up with a better tool for removing the centre caps :undecided:
Is it another half moon type you're having or have they revised it?
-
brenell performance don't list with yell had a look

I got a BBS tool from a Jaguar dealer a couple of weeks ago, it works really well and was only £3.50!!! If anyone would like the part number it is MXD6160AA.

i dunno what type it is till i get it mate, VW leeds got bought out as richard alexander went bust, they now dont offer next day delivery for parts but seen as my mates work their and i was desperate he will have it for the morning, ill see what type it is then, costing me £20!
your right about the tool, terrible for such a nice/expensive rim
the one from jag, does that fit the anniversary caps then ?
-
Yeah the jag one fits perfectly, will try to find the link that i found on google and post it up.
Here is the link http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/301443/2003169.aspx
Hope this helps.

brilliant find mate, just have to find a Jag dealer near me now. Think the nearest one is a good 45 mins drive away.
-
Fantastic find cheers for link and cheers to rhyso for the pm's :-)
-
Went to my local jag dealer (which was funny, but another story) Went in the MK4 not the MK3 so i could check the wrench when i got their, it was a special order part tho.
picked up this little fella for the great sum or 3.52 UK pounds :laugh:
BBS wrench, fantastic quality and a perfect fit, even has little indentations for the cap
this is a MUST for all RC owners

Removal tools ordered guys. I should have them here Wednesday as long as they have them all in stock at their warehouse.
Will update this thread and sort sending u them out once I have them, as I say, it should be Wednesday :-)
-
Thanking you :afro:
Watch how the price goes up next week :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Thanks alot mate.
Send me your paypal address, and price details inc postage
-
Hey matey just send me a pm with your address and I'll give u the price with postage after iv been to the post office with them on Wednesday, can't see it costing too much to send all tho I usually send stuff recorded which is a extra
74p I think but that's up to you lot :-)
-
the extra for recorded is fine mate.
Would send you my postal address through PM but the word sensor on the forum doesnt allow my home town to be displayed correctly. So i'll space it out so you can send it to the right town. Had a parcel arrive the other week from another forum member and my home town was Sthingythorpe. :grin:
-

what ill do is, when iv got them on Wednesday, ill PM you my Cell phone number if you wish and you can text me the exact address if it makes it easier for you?
that said, spacing it out should be easy enough for me to follow

Thanks Kells, Top bloke :afro:
Might be worth maybe ordering about 20 or so in and then sell on at abit of a profit.
-
No probs dude
yeah might get a few more, gonna order some next week me thinks, they are a really good tool to have, managed to get my centre caps tight enough so they cant be loosened by hand (the old tool will not loosen them but the spanner will)
-
I always have the problem of tightening them up well by hand, thinking no one will get these off. But then i need to get them off and i end up with blisteres on me hand from getting them back off again.lol
-
Received today spot on bud thank you very muchly :afro:

Mine came, but nobody in at the time, collecting tomorrow from the depot.
