HELP>>>QUICK PLEASE

I got a flat tire but I can't find that f*cking tool to remove the wheel bolt covers. I called our terrific roadside service and all they can do is tow my car. Very helpful on a saturday night. Any input on how to get those wheel bolts off would be greatly appreciated.

insert the open end inside the hole and get it to catch the lip of the bolt cover

and pull out.

Grab a wire coat hanger

And just make a small bend at the end.

you'd think the dealers would tell people about these tools

Cuz the first time I had a flat, it was 19 degrees out, with heavy winds. I was in Michigan even though I live in Virginia. With it being so cold out, I called Audi Roadside and we couldn't figure out where the tool was. Luckily, I had the numbers of some AW people in my phone (was only on AW a few months at the time) and made some calls.
