Feck it - bought some very loverly nipple super type hub caps from Roger Bray and they are such a tight fit to my 4 stub wheels that managed to dent one. feck feck feck.

Any ideas whether it can be heated out?? Or is it a case of buying another?!

I might use this one to see if I can reduce the pressure required to push it on - for example by slightly bending out the securing ring.
