Hiya Littleblackbird..
We here at "The shed of invention "pride ourselves on our ability to come up with automotive "firsts"..
Our team of engineers have come up with an environmentaly friendly "Hub cap remover"
We have named it ..... "The pot hole"
Yuppppp .. you read right.. The pothole.
Gone are the days of carry cumbersome flat bars with hooks on the end... or wheel brace thingys.
Simply drive your car or tow your van with the offending apparatrus attached to the wheel..
Keep on the lookout for the "reddotel -Shed of invention hubcap remover .. aka .. Pothole"usually found in the roads in abundance after heavy rain. The council buys thousands of em of me.....
...simply align the wheel with the stubborn cap with the Pothole ( trademark registered
) and drive flat out through it.. and... Bingo... off comes the cap ... No worries .. Job done.
Here is a free tip at no extra charge....Keep your eyes on all three rear view mirrors...( yeah , yeah.. i know you have only two eyes but do your best Ok...)..... learn quickly that left is right .. and right is left ... you will need to remember this as you see your hubcap hurtle off over the embankment and into the blackberry bushes.
Can be embarassing to run back to find the cap and its has exited to the opposite side of the road you have been searching on.
;D
Ummmmm.. Reddotel would like to state at this point that we will not be held responsible for any resulting flattening or buckling of a rim. Nor the loss or damage to any other part of your vehicles suspension.
Can fly to Victoria ( at your expense) and demonstrate the correct procedure. Can bring spare potholes if none in your local council; area
;D
;D
Happy to be of service.
