RRC with boost wheels.
I've been trying different techniques for removing my wheels, but each one has at least one nut that has a destroyed cap, and I can't get them off.
So far, I've tried hammering a socket on over the top. I've tried using a spanner to "flatten" each side. I've tried to use a large channel lock. I've tried using a cold chisel to "flatten" each side. But nothing is working. Several of the caps are so loose that they can be turned by hand.
I'd like to figure some way to remove the cap by pulling it off. I've seen it done easily on a workbench, but I have not figured how to do it while still on the vehicle. I have in mind to put a hole in the center of the cap, then use some kind of puller to grab and pull... but what tool?
Any ideas?
