Default Re: Wheel cover removal

Not that I know of, and I too have 4 bent covers.
What I found is that it is not the removal that bends them, but putting them back on without aligning the tab to the wheel.
They probably wouldn't seat all the way, and a tire installer/brake person's response to that is a big rubber hammer.
( check and see if all the bends are at the alignment tab, if so then that's the answer )

the below picture is not of the wheels with the bent covers, I have a set of SE wheels that are that way.
