Default use a wire slip it around the back of the cover, cross it over and pull...

that's how I did it. I tried using needle nose pliers, etc. Didn't work too well.

John-mine has always been in the glove box, not the tool kit. Came this way from the dealer.

Default I didn't even look there. I'll check it out tonight...

In the meantime, I just made one out of a jumbo paper clip from my desk.

Default I have one of those tools used to get a dropped screw

out of a tight spot. I do not know what it is called, but it has a spring loaded button with a cable that expands claws at the end. I too did not have the plastic tool to remove the lug nut covers, but this whachamacallit works well.

Default John, you should have emailed me...

I do have an extra you can have. Did you check the compartment where the spare tire is located? Otherwise, I bet the roadside guy left it on the ground. Let me know if you still need one.

Default You guys are all awesome...

But I e-mailed my S.A. @ Inskip and he said he had a spare one at home, that he would give me on Friday. Can't you just feel the love, here? I promised myself I would cry...sob!
