Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members

Not so far. The pressure from prying is put on the rubber knob. With the camel toe () I would turn it to the side some and pry. It all takes a feel and watching carefully to see if the cap is moving or the rolled edge is getting crushed. The 76-91 caps being aluminum make removal/installation a delicate thing. I look and feel, and if it's not moving out I move to another point and try. I think it's when you are between nubs that the cap will distort, not budge and stretch. I have to be really careful installing to assure they seat well, as well
