    I've a 2010 Fiesta that I need to take the wheel off. Looking for some tips to remove the caps that cover the wheel nuts. I think there is supposed to be a tool but it's not in the car and the brace that is there is not the original. Some of them are off already but can't shift the others. I've tried with a socket and also with a long nose pliers. If anyone has some tips or knows where i could get the tool over the weekend would be appreciated. Some pics attached

    You're not supposed to remove the caps. Use a 19mm socket to remove them. If the caps have come off all ready or are missing, you may need to use a 18mm socket instead.

    Ok will give that a go. They didn't feel like they were turning or meant to tirn when tried earlier. Yeah when off they need an 18 mm
