Dust Cap Pliers

[RClark]

My 5th wheel has the 6000lb Dexter axles. The dust caps are almost 3"in dia. and are curved, not straight out for an inch like cars/trucks.

Where can i find the special dust cap pliers?

The trailer has disk brakes and I preffer to do the wheel bearings myself.

Most mechanics get confused when they see the setup even tghough it is a standard Kodiak.

No wonder it takes me so long to service my bearings. I just kinda use a screw driver and pry off the caps. Boy next time I'll get my giant plyers and rip them off!!!
