Remove and install wheel nut covers

If Model Y is equipped with wheel nut covers, you must remove them to access the wheel nuts.

Remove a wheel nut cover:

  • Insert the rounded part of the wheel nut cover tool (found in the glove box of some vehicles or you can use a small Allen wrench) into the lowered outer edge around the center of the wheel nut cover.

Anm: The wheel nut cover tool can also be purchased at an auto parts store or ordered online.

  • Turn the wheel nut cover tool so that the end of the swiveled part is facing away from the Tesla-T.
  • Pull the tool firmly away from the wheel until the wheel nut cover comes off.

Install the wheel nut cover:

  • Align the wheel nut cover in place.
  • Press the wheel nut cover firmly until it snaps into place.

Caution: Before driving, make sure the wheel nut cover is securely fastened to prevent it from falling off.
