removing dust cap from front axles

Jun 28, 2005 5 Replies

Guys,



Quick and easy question...what's the easiest way to remove the dust cap from the front axles? The Bentley shows a special tool, and I have generally pried with a combo of screwdrivers and large pliers, BUT I know there has to be an easier way...



Any comments or suggestions?

Generally I use a large pair of Channel Lock Pliers.

Grab it and rock it a couple of times. Comes right off.

Yup, channel lock pliers works every time, and does the least amount of damage too!

That's my first choice, too!
