- Align and Press: Align each cap directly over a wheel bolt. Gently but firmly press the cap onto the bolt until it clicks into place and feels secure. Do not use excessive force.
- Repeat for all Bolts: Install a cap on each exposed wheel bolt.
- Check Security: After installation, lightly tug on each cap to ensure it is firmly attached and will not easily fall off during driving.

To remove the wheel nut caps, use the provided removal tool:
- Position the Tool: Take the removal tool and slide its prongs under the edge of the wheel nut cap.

- Repeat: Remove all necessary caps.
7. Care and Maintenance

- Ensure you have selected the correct size (17mm, 19mm, or 21mm) for your vehicle's wheel bolts.

- Caps fall off easily:

- Apply steady, gentle pressure. Avoid sudden jerking motions.
9. User Tips

- Consider keeping a few spare caps, especially if you frequently remove your wheels or drive in conditions where caps might be dislodged.
