bravo 35 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) 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.
