Guys, is there such a thing as the above - how does everyone else get their centre caps off...?

Looks like that one is for the 172 alloys.....how do people get theirs off without scratching the alloy ?

 

[-KarL-]

thats the tool for all the alloys that have the centre caps

How about the 182 - it doesnt have a centre cap as such, just the disc thing that covers the bolts.....there just seems to be a small hole - noy key bolt or anything....?

I am worried that I will scratch the alloy when removing it.

Wrap a really small screwdriver with a cloth

umm in your boot you should have a break down kit with a jack etc.

In that pack you'll find the cap remover tool it looks like a tent peg remover...

btw dont use a bloody screwdriver..... the paint on the wheels are soft and you'll dent the paint (believe me i found this out to my cost )

Thank you gentlemen....

Only problem is, that the wheels were bought secondhand to replace my Gf's 172 alloys, and I dont think her original tool kit/jack pack will have one.

I'll have a look when I get in tonight.....If it doesnt, a small screw driver wrapped in a cloth sounds the best option.

If you haven't got the removal tool then a small technical screw driver will pop them out. They come off quite easily. Becareful putting them back on, they only go on in exactly the same place as they came off!

A replacement 182 one is only a few pence from Renault, I have one on my desk at home in a bag with a part number still on it which I can post later if it helps.

why does the 182 come with a jack kit but no spare wheel haha always found that funny lol

 

[MR_PEA]

dose it come with a wheel brace??

 

[H182]

^Yes, it doubles up as the handle for the jack.

Because you need to jack it up to use the tyre foam.

Part number for the tool is 77 00 418 335
