I recently purchased a 2000 Coachmen Mirada and one of the air hose extensions
has came loose on a rear outer wheel(behind the chrome wheel cover). I need to remove
the chrome wheel cover that has the eight chrome nut caps. Two of the nut caps have dimples,
so I assume these are the ones that can be taken off to remove the wheel cover? Is it OK to
use a lug wrench or socket to remove these caps? The RV came with a small T-handle wrench that
fits the nut caps, but I can't get enough torgue on it to remove the caps by hand. Is there a
better tool for removing these? Any hints for removing the chrome wheel cover would be appreciated
as I can't put air in the tire right now. Also does anyone know of a source for purchasing nuts with
the same thread as the valve stems (5/16 by 28?)?? 5/16 by 24 is not a fine enough thread.
