A tip I thought i'd share, apologies if i'm telling you something you already know but i was so relieved to crack this one.

I found some play on the drivers side wheel bearing and decided to adjust it, but I was really struggling to remove the wheel bearing cap, after spending about 20 minutes trying to pry into a non existant gap with various sized screwdriver tips and hitting the cap from all angles I finally gave up as it just wasnt moving at all and the cap was starting to show signs of battle damage.

I searched on google for tips and saw loads of different posts from people on lots of different owners forums for all types of cars describing the very same struggle and discussing ideas about various pullers and other methods so I realised I wasnt alone with my frustrations.

Anyway I went back to the task the next day and after another 15 minutes of getting nowhere I sat staring into my toolbox trying to figure out what I could possibly do, so I tried what you see below, using a hammer as a fulcrum I inserted a large flatblade screwdriver into the groove between the two ridges and literally just squeezed the hammer handle and screwdriver together with one hand, amazingly after all my previous hammering, prying, sweating and swearing the cap immediately popped out a few mm, I turned the wheel 180 degrees and repeated the squeeze and the cap fell on to the floor, Job sorted!!

Once again apologies if this is something already known but i was just so relieved to have found a way around this after much head scratching!!
