does anybody have the cap remover or have a technique they know of to get the centre peice of the old style rims, i know they just screw but these are 2 tight for me to get off any ideas to get them off or loosen them?

Plumber's multi-grip pliers with a rag on the jaws to protect the caps from marks.

I keep one in the boot in case I need to change a wheel.

They do make a plastic wrench, but I don't know where to get them from, and you probably want to do it now.

What about something like Irwin Quik Grips and twist? They have rubber jaws and wouldn't scratch the cap. http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/...IrwinProd100029

If you have some lying around I guess, I use them all the time when gluing stuff, but I am sure they would work LOL.
