The metal caps? ..... They're normally stuck solid
-
My dustcaps with the logo kept getting nicked so I gave up in the end and just stuck with the black/grey plastic type. One set got nicked while we were away in the caravan and the car was alongside it. I'd always trusted my fellow campers/tourers until then. >:(

On my lads car we had to run a hacksaw across the top of the metal cap and split them off. If they're not touched for a while they don't half grip don't they. :y

Plastic, learned my lesson in the past with metal. ;)

Yes......metal caps 'weld' themselves and are all but impossible to remove.......as I know to my cost. :-\
I had to 'half inch' a set of plastic caps from a derv Mercedes whilst driving through Brum. :)
Every cloud. :)

Just taken all the metal caps of SWMBOs Subaru & replaced with plastic, the metal ones were getting very difficult to unscrew.

I grease my metal ones.
Round these parts, the kids are too stupid to nick anything like that.

Surprised they didn't nick the whole car there. Thats getting near to Mad Stokie territory.
