Lock rings

[Oivind Grismo]

Could anybody tell me what kind of (original) tool your are using to remove the lock ring? I have tried with a heavy screwdriver but it is slipping out of the square hole. Photo?

Olivind,

Here is a thread from the AACA

Good luck,

I had very good results protecting the paint on rims using strips cut out of 1Qt oil bottles. Pry against the strip when removing the ring and put strips between the rim and ring when replacing. Remove the strips after the ring is completly installed. NO chipped paint.
