Can anyone recommend a tool(s) to quickly remove and replace MB4 & MGZS Wheel trims please?
Finding tyre checks and inflation difficult

Thanks

Hi David, aren't they as easy as this to remove?

Post in thread 'Space Saver tyre for MG ZS EV 2022'

Oct 9, 2022

Hi all .. today I tried my space saver tyre on my Sept 22 MG ZS EV Essence (that's what we call it here in OZ) .. the one with the sun roof . I was not happy with the idea of a small air compressor and a can of tyre goo .. to fix flat tyres. I have read many threads about this and after doing some home work I went to a Auto parts wreaker and brought a VW golf GTi 2017 space saver tyre and the wheel bolts also. The tyre and bolts cost me $90 (CASH) AUD. The tyre and rim size was 125/70/R18. The tyre was never used!! The other thing to get was a 16inch / 340mm long pry bar. This helps...

This time of year they can be a bit brittle and a tighter fit. Try a hair dryer or heat gun to warm them up a bit before removal.

Good idea - thank you. Having heated them, can you remove by hand or do you use a lever tool or something similar to get them off the wheels?

I found a plastic ice scraper doubled as a good lever. A sturdy cooking spatula would probably work as well (just don't tell the wife)
