Hi all, Im new to Nopistons.com. I have a 91 Conv. NA (blue w/ white pinstripe) My one wheel bearing seemed to be messed up so I went to take off the wheel. When I went to take off the center cover, I couldn't find the tool. My toolbox that is supposed to be in the trunk isn't there. Any ideas or suggestions besides replacing??! I need all the help as Im new to these...

wtf??? so you are missing the BBS wheel wrench? is this a convertible? I don't understand what you just typed. How about going back and proof reading it and reposting your question.

you COULD use a big adjustable wrench, just be careful on it. I normally just grab it with my hands, but maybe you have small hands? It twists off like a nut.



and cheers, what the hell were you reading he's pretty clear in what he said. He even specifically said it was a vert, he said he went to take the wheel off, and said he couldnt get the center cap off because he didnt have the tool.



maybe you need to read better before criticizing.
