Vancat Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hi, I'm a new member here, and this is my first post. I recently bought a 57 plate 1.4 TDCi Fusion in excellent condition. In amongst the documents the dealer gave me was this tool, and I haven't got a clue what it is for! Can anybody enlighten me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburdett555 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Perhaps it gets the panel off the front to access the towing hook port 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 It is the official tool that is used to remove the hubcaps that cover the wheel nuts. Most people (and tyre fitters) use a flat head screwdriver but this is the tool that Ford designed for this purpose. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could also be used as Matt, above, suggests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT70 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 It's a special tool to jab, aggressively, into your earhole, until death, or acceptance of the fact that the fault you have taken your car into the dealer for is a characteristic of the car 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulkp Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Question for the OP - do you have a spare wheel, or a pump and a can of goooo....? Our Fusion came with a can of goo, but perhaps that tool was supplied to cars that had spare wheels ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also only for cars with alloys that have the large centre cap covering the wheel nuts. If you have alloys with visible nuts and the small centre cap, it's not required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulkp Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Yes it is for hooking out the plastic centre trim, but perhaps I should have said, "....was only supplied to vehicles with spare wheels". We had gooo, so not expected to change a wheel by the roadside - but call for roadside assistance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
