Konig Toxxins......

Why do they make the front caps for the Toxxins so hard to take out! I need to rotate my tires but I'm having a problem taking off the colored caps that cover the lug nuts. I tried pulling on them with my bare hand and managed to get two off, breaking a few of the notches that hold them in, the other two won't budge. Anybody know a better way to take them off with out breaking them? Any advice will be much appreciated.

Do you pry them out with a screwdriver?

I noticed that the ones I broke the notches on(3 on each) are now easier to put on and take off. I still can't get the other two off!

I finally got them off with the help of a garden tool shaped like a claw.

The rims actually look pretty good without the caps on, maybe I'll keep them that way. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
