KO center cap removal tool
Hey Guys,
I thought I heard that there was a tool, maybe suction type, for removal of the Knock off center cap.
I am getting tired of using a small screw driver and risking scratches. It seems like there has got to be a better way.
Anyone know of such a tool?

Works great, but I notice several vendors have raised the price. I think I paid less than $10 around 5 yrs ago. Really does make it easy.

You can buy several sizes of suction cup at any hardware store, certainly for less that $10. I bought one recently and it works fine.

why do you have to pull the center cap off? I don't and millions of other owners don't either.

I tried other suction cups and they worked on one but not the other three caps. I sprung for the removal tool ($18) and it worked every time. I also used the removal tool to suck out the caved in back of my seat on my 66 without taking the back off. Useful tool!

Yup, I have bolt on Knock Offs so I have to take the cap off to get the pin out. Not sure if I even need the pins since they are bolt on wheels. It is only for the spinner.
This tool looks very useful. Thanks for the info.

If you have repros with "security" pins then you need to pull the center cap off to get to the pins to remove them before hammering the wheel loose.
