1986 Buick Park Ave. Hub Cap Tool?

[99RangerKrazy]

Hey, anyone happen to have or know where I can get the wire wheel hub cap tool for a 1986 Buick Electra Park Avenue? I just bought the car for the demo derby and I need to remove the hub caps, but I can't, thanks to Buick's genius decision to put a ridic nut on to hold the hub cap in place.

Haha yea those are a pain and the plastic wears out really easy...I drove an 89' Buick Park Avenue through High School. I would say try a junk yard first...I'll see if we kept the key before we wheeled her off after the tranny went (253,xxx+). Worse comes to worse cut them off

Stick an extension into the hub cab, and spin the whole thing off.

derby car? BFH, of course!

Haha that's what ended up happening. BFH and channel locks can get a lot accomplished.

Rusted

my 86 park avenue had the bolts rusted on and I couldnt fit channel locks through the hub cap so i sprayed bolts with WD40 and hit the inside corner of the flower looking portion of the nut with a flat head screwdriver and hammer and it slowly but surely came loos... took about 3 minutes for each tire.
