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.
