Anyone local to Cleveland have one of these, or can someone point me in the direction of buying just the tool to remove the caps? I have 4 Marauder caps I cannot remove because my dumb ass lost the tool required to remove them. None of the tire shops claim to have one of these or have even heard of it! :help:

Something similar to this, but I don't wanna spend $30+ (inc shipping) on 4 caps when I don't need anything but the tool.

Good luck. I've been trying to get a replacement tool from Wes for many months now. You'll probably just have to buy another set. Then take one of the tools out and re-sell them with only one tool. The set comes with 2 tools.

I think I'm gonna put one in a safe-deposit box just in case!

...but if someone nearby has the tool to remove them, I'm just going to take them off and put regular chrome ones on, and put the Marauder caps in the glovebox.

Use needle nose pliers.

Wouldn't that damage the caps?

HAHAHA! Those are some good anti-theft valve stem caps if you can't even remove them!

Pat if you're tuned in I'll uhh, not be needing yours, but if you have already sent it, I realllllly appreciate it. I'll fire it back your way and cover your postage!

Adam, I'll let you borrow mine, I'll bring to work with me. I'm in Highland Heights, but plan on heading out for lunch ~11:30AM, possibly in Willoughby.

If Barry's is up for trade, I'd probably just go that route, but if not I'll use you as a backup plan.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for being extra helpful.


As much as I think it'll be annoying to have on the keyring, I think that's probably the best place for it. Haven't lost a set of keys yet, knock on wood...
