Rear hubcap on Ford dually

Question

I'm having one heck of a time getting that plastic hubcap off a rear dually, 2008 Ford pickup. It's one of those snap-on kind. I yanked one off on the drivers side, but having a hell of a time with this other one. Have any of you had this trouble? Is there a special tool that you use to pop them off, because I don't seem to have one. Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you sure it's a snap on, some of them have fake chrome 'lugnuts' that have to be unscrewed. It takes the same size wrench as the real ones which are under the wheel cover.

Yeah, it's a snap on for sure. With it being recessed in a dually, I'm having a tough time getting something behind it to pry it off. I may have to work on improvising some kind of tool for it tomorrow? Just curious what others may have done.

I haven't tried to remove the ones on my 2006 but the lug wrench has a small hook on the end which I think is to help in removing the hubcaps. Take a look and see if that might help you.

I use a slide hammer to remove my rear hub caps. It's the craziest design-even the tire iron hook won't pull out a rear hubcap. I fashioned a hook by grinding down a bolt that fit on the end of my slide hammer. Works great.

Offset screwdriver fits into the notch at cap base. I actually use a horse hoof pick. At least that's what works on my 01.
