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

Even with the tool, it can be a pain and damage your alloys. Thats why i do it by hand

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:

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:
