plastic tool for locking valve stem caps
Hello all, anyone out there happen to have or know where I can get an extra tool for those crossed flag locking valve stem covers? Not an emergency, but mine has disappeared. Before I fork over cash for a whole new set... anyone seen the tool anywhere?
Thanks!
Bill

You don't have to pry them off.You can use a thin pair of needle nose or a paper clip.put the paper clip under the base of the cap and squeez and rotate counter clockwise. I think I got an extra one in the garage ......somewhere .If I find it I'll let you know

This set comes with two tools - I think mine (older) came with one. I left with the shop that recently did some maintenance, and forgot to pick it up when I got the car back. They mailed it in an unpadded envelope, and - you guessed it - USPS delivered a torn open empty envelope.
I'll try the pliers, maybe I can get by with that trick.
Thanks all!
