EMPI Oval Billet Hub Cap Puller / Jack Point Plug — Black with EMPI Logo, Pair | VW Beetle (10-1076-0)

EMPI Oval Billet Hub Cap Puller — Black, EMPI Logo, Pair (10-1076-0)

Every VW owner has chipped paint off a wheel prying a hub cap with a screwdriver. EMPI 10-1076-0 is the right tool for the job, and it earns its place on the car. It is a pair of black billet-aluminum hub cap pullers with spring-steel fingers that hook the cap's drain holes and pop it off clean. Between uses they plug into the oval jack ports, with EMPI's die-cast globe logo on the face.

Key Features & Benefits

• Removes caps without damage: two spring-steel wire fingers hook the drain holes in the hub cap edge, so you don't need a pry bar and won't scuff the wheel.
• Stores in the jack ports: the oval body plugs the jack point when not in use, so the tool is always on the car.
• Billet 6061-T6 aluminum: machined, with a black finish.
• Die-cast EMPI globe logo: for the smooth, logo-free look, choose EMPI 10-1075-0.
• Pair: one for each side of the car.
• Genuine EMPI: sold by an authorized EMPI dealer.

Installation Notes

• To remove a cap, hook both fingers into drain holes on opposite sides of the cap and pull straight out, square to the wheel.
• To install a cap, line up the valve stem hole and tap the cap on with your palm, not a hammer.
• Clean the jack ports before you store the pullers there. Grit in the port will scratch the black finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this fit a 1966 VW Beetle? Yes. EMPI lists the 10-1076-0 for the VW Type 1 (12/1947–12/1986 production), which covers every Beetle. The pullers hook the drain holes in the edge of the VW hub cap, and they store in the jack ports.
• What is the part number? EMPI 10-1076-0 (often listed as EMPI 10-1076). The smooth version without the logo is EMPI 10-1075-0. UPC 707924344622.
• How does it work? Two spring-steel wire fingers hook into the drain holes around the edge of the hub cap. Pull, and the cap comes off without pry-bar scratches on the wheel or dents in the cap.
• Why do they go in the jack point? When you are not using them, the oval pullers plug into the jack ports. That stores the tool on the car and dresses up the open jack holes.
• Is it a pair? Yes, two pullers per package.
• How does it ship? As a small parcel (0.51 lb, 8 x 6 x 2 in). It is not hazmat and has no ground-only restriction.
