EMPI Oval Billet Hub Cap Puller — Polished Billet, EMPI Logo, Sold Each (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 polished billet-aluminum hub cap puller, sold each, with spring-steel fingers that hook the cap's drain holes and pop it off clean. Between uses it plugs into an oval jack port, with EMPI's die-cast globe logo on the face. Order 2 for both sides of the car.

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 and polished, with the EMPI logo set in a black field.
• Die-cast EMPI globe logo: for the smooth, logo-free look, choose EMPI 10-1075-0.
• Sold each: order 2 for both sides of the car.
• Genuine EMPI: sold by Washburn's Metal.

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 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 puller hooks the drain holes in the edge of the VW hub cap, and it stores in a jack port.
• 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 does it go in the jack point? When you are not using it, the oval puller plugs into a jack port. That stores the tool on the car and dresses up the open jack hole.
• Is it a pair? No. EMPI 10-1076-0 is sold individually; order 2 for both sides of the car.
• 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.
