ABSTRACT:
A tool for removing a wheel cover from a wheel of a vehicle. The tool comprises an elongated metal rod having a hook at one end of the rod and a handle portion at the other end of the rod for grasping the tool. The hook end of the rod is adapted to engage a metal retention ring that secures the wheel cover to the wheel. By pulling the tool crosswise of the wheel, the retention ring is pulled away from a rim of the wheel and toward the center of the wheel to release the wheel cover from the wheel.
