Changing a flat tire is a common task that most drivers will need to perform at some point. In order to change a flat tire, you will need to remove the hubcap. Hubcaps are the decorative covers that fit over the wheel lug nuts. They can be made of a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, or carbon fiber.
There are a few different ways to remove hubcaps. The most common method is to use a hubcap removal tool. Hubcap removal tools are inexpensive and can be purchased at most auto parts stores. To use a hubcap removal tool, simply insert the tool into the slot between the hubcap and the wheel, and then pry the hubcap off. If you do not have a hubcap removal tool, you can also use a screwdriver or a butter knife to remove the hubcap. However, be careful not to damage the hubcap or the wheel when using these tools.
