Jack & Lug nut wrench

[HCR]

Have been lucky and experienced no flats. I believe I have the lug nuts w/chrome caps and have this question:

In removing the lug nuts, do you remove the chrome caps first and if so, is there a special tool to remove them? It seems that if I put the lug wrench driectly on the caps that they would get scratched up pretty quickly.

As always, thanks in advance.

You won't scratch the McGards'. Have used them for years, without any marks.
If you remove those chrome "caps" it's almost impossible to find a socket that fits (metric), and getting them back on would be a problem.
