Removing hub and lug nut covers
I have an '03 Avalanche. I want to remove one tire. But I cannot find a way to remove the aluminum hub cover and the plastic thing under it that also covers all of the lug nuts. Sounds dumb, but I cannot find any notches that would allow prying it off with a screwdriver. I don't want to bend the cover or mangle the dark gray plastic thing that cover the wheel hub and lug nuts.
Basic user manual is of no help. Help!

Re: Removing hub and lug nut covers
i would run it by your local tire shop.
They deal with stuff like that all of the time. Good Luck

Re: Removing hub and lug nut covers
The plastic cover is held on by black or gray plastic "fake" lug nuts that actually thread over the real lug nuts (GM uses a special lug nut that has external threads to hold center caps on). They have normal threads (lefty loosey, righty tighty), and I'd suggest a 6-point socket to remove them.
