every time i take the truck to a tire shop for tires, rotation, alignment, flat repair or anything that causes them to take the hub caps and wheel simulators off i end up with these parts getting broken tabs. both the wheel simulators and hub caps are made of plastic and it is very easy to break the tabs. the tire guys (or kids) seem to simply use the brute force method to take them off or put them on. i'm thinking of taking them off myself before i take the truck to them. is there any preferred tool or method that will allows these pars to be removed / installed with breaking the tabs. thanks for your advice!
