I just bought a 1957 Fairlane that has Ford wire wheels on it. I'm not sure if they are period original or a reproduction, but I'd guess reproduction because they are so nice. While checking the tire pressures one of the valve stems broke and needs to be replaced. I don't know how to remove the little hubcap cover that covers up the lug nuts. It appears to be just a very thin groove that goes all the way around it. Am I just supposed to try and stick something in there and pry it off? I'm afraid to just try that because I don't want to damage or scuff the wheels at all, they look so nice. Help! Thanks!
