    Wheel bolts safety thing Q.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    SO I am tired of taking this things off everytime I want to do anything at all that has to do with taking off my wheels. as this pic shows i have them there because I painted them white and go along well with the theme of the wheel.

    I usually take them off with a hanger but its PITA. It takes forever and i made a small scratch on one of my wheels already.

    Re: Wheel bolts safety thing Q.

    are you talking about the little plastic caps that go over the bolts??
    if so, there's a u-shaped clip that pulls them off
