It is a small chrome tool with a loop which fits a thumb and then goes straight with about a 7mm curved up end<p><br> X<br>XXXXXXXXXXXXX<br>X X<br>X X<br>XXXXXX<p>Hope my diagram turns out. Anyone know what this is for, it is NOT the lug nut cover puller.<p>Kirk

It is a hook used to remove the Logo plate covering the Wheel bolts. I have the stock 8 spoke 15" wheels. Iam not sure about other wheel types.

I think the piece you are talking about is all metal, more like a wire bent into your shape, I can't go look right now but I know it is not the lug nut cover remover because I tried to use it for that when I did not have the tweezer device which I got later.<br>Clair 98.5 2.8 FWD MAN

I thought that is for removing fuses I could be wrong though.

It's for the 10 spoke OEM 15" Wheel that has the entire 5 lugs covered by 6" dish that has this hole at corner. You insert this tool into hole and pull to dislodge the dish and get aty the 5 lugs. If your car came with 5 or 7 spokers OEM you will not know what I am talking about.

No these are not what I am talking about. I believe that these are in the fusebox panel. These pics with explanations would be good for the FAQ though!<p><br>Thx,<br>Kirk

My plastic lug cover remover is black plastic and more U shaped v. the crimped chrome U in the pic.<p>I do not have this tool in the pic. May have changed for 99<p>Kirk

I have Sport wheels, so probably useless to me, but of course I'll keep it for a rainy day.<p>Kirk
