    I must admit I haven’t looked in the glovebox,which I will do tomorrow,but as you see in the picture the locking wheel nut seems to have a cap over it,and I have tried priding it off,but to no avail,am I doing something wrong or missing something?

    They changed the design due to the Mcgard type's tendency to corrode and rip.
